What Does Nephihah Mean?

The -"ihah"/ "hah", in the Book of Mormon, led me to believe it meant "son of".

Is there any evidence for/ against this in the Bible?

Well if you see the Tvedtes article, you will see that 'mn''hw(amonihah) and mtn''hw(mathonihah) were found in material dating to 600bce, in Israel. In hebrew, Bar- as in Simon bar Jonas, means son of. Then again, who knows what the nephites were speaking. All we do know is that BoM -ihah corresponds with hebrew yhw. Some nephites knew hebrew, and egyptian.

Just more proof of the Book of Mormon. But, the thing I've always wondered about is the anti- element. Anti-Nephi Lehi? Is it linked somehow to ondi from Adam-ondi-Ahman?

I remember reading once that "Anti-" did not have the same meaning in 1830 as it does now. Ill have to check on that.

I have no clue. It just seemed interesting that in the BoM, the son has the father's name, with "-ihah" attached at the end. Reminds me of Ander's son, Anderson type of thing.

My stepfather thought that the "hah" meant "son of", but there is a Mathonihah that is a brother of Mathoni.

I have a book written by a couple of CoC members (I Know Thee By Name by Joseph and Norrene Salonimer) about Book of Mormon names, that states that the meaning of "hah" is unclear, but gives two possibilities: 1. it means "alas" or "ah", or 2. it is some unknown idiom, maybe suggesting a family tie.

Isn't it too late? Doesn't MA&D already own the copyright? See that thingie at the bottom of each post? It states, "Copyright 2004-2007 MA&D".
