Etymology
TUBALOTH resembles the Hebrew PN Tubal (Genesis 10:2) and Tubal-cain (Genesis 4:22) as well as the GN Tubal (Isaiah 66:19). Although the -oth ending looks like the feminine plural noun ending, this ending is also used in men's names, cf. Lapidoth (Judges 4:4); Naboth (1 Kings 21:1, 3, 8, 9, and passim); and Meraioth (Ezra 7:31; Nehemiah 11:11; 12:15; 1 Chronicles 6:5, 7, 52; 9:11), as well as the ending of the Book of Mormon PN HAGOTH (Alma 63:5). The PN Tubal may derive from the Hebrew tubal and tabal, "metalworker, smith," parallel in meaning to biblical Kenites, denoting metalworkers or smiths (Hebrew qayin, qeni). The Hebrew ending -oth (like the ending -im) can denote an abstract. Thus, TUBALOTH has the abstract sense "skill"; cf. HAGOTH, "joy."
