    In Joshua 18:17, the form is tagged as a proper noun and occurs after the route “turned northward” and “reached En-shemesh.” The APB renders the next point as “reached Geliloth opposite the ascent of Adummim,” before the route descends to Bohan's stone.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Joshua 18:17, the APB presents the term as “Geliloth” within a sequence of boundary landmarks. It confirms the location-setting context rather than isolating further nuance.
