Libnah
liv.nah is a proper name used chiefly for a place in travel notices, military accounts, and statements of origin.
The supplied verses chiefly present this proper name as a locality: a camping point, a city encountered in military accounts, and the stated home place of Hamutal. In 1 Chronicles 6:42, however, the APB's genealogical wording does not show the form's specific contribution, so that occurrence does not establish a further use.
