Hugh Nibley: "the Egyptian proper name Heri-i-her-imn"

Parent page: Book of Mormon/Anthropology/Language/Names

Helaman (BM), great Nephite prophet. [compare with] Her-amon (OW), "in the presence of Amon," as in the Egyptian proper name Heri-i-her-imn. Semitic "l" is always written "r" in Egyptian, which has no "l." Conversely, the Egyptian "r" is often written "l" in Semitic languages.[1]
