If Semitic languages can be appealed to for derivations of Jaredite names (SHARED may be a translation of the Jaredite name into Nephite and not a transliteration), Ugaritic šrd, “to present (an offering), bring down from God,” probably a Š-stem causative from the root yrd, “to descend,”[1] then SHARED could mean “offering” or “presentation.” Note a possible parallel construction, with interchange d > t, in the Hebrew šārēt, “service” in cultic ritual (Numbers 4:12 and 2 Chronicles 24:14), from the verb šrt meaning “to serve” in cultic ritual.[2]
Confer also the Ebla city-name *šeraduki (Pettinato, Archives) (JAT).
