Among the most numerous prefixes found in Book of Mormon proper names, are Am, Anti, Gid and Hel, of which the first is by far the most frequent. We find Am in Ammon, Amaron, Ammaron, Ammoron, Amoron, Amulon, Amnor, Ammonihah, Amalickiah, Amnah, Amlici, Aminadi, etc.; Anti in Antionah, Antiomno, Antipas, Antipus, Antionum and Anti-Nephi-Lehi. It was also used as a suffix, an Ani-Anti. The prefix Gid we find in Giddianhi, Gidgiddoni, Giddonah and Gidgidonah; and Hel in Helem, Helam, Helaman and Helorum. Not to make this portion of our investigations tedious, we will only give two or three examples of the suffixes that appear to have been most in use. ah, as Zerahamnah, Giddonah, Cumorah. am, as Zoram, Lauram, Seezoram. iah, as Amalickiah, Mosiah. ihah, as Nephihah, Moronihah, Cumenihah. om, as Sidom, Shiblom, Jarom. on, as Mormon, Emron, Corianton. or, as Amnor, Korihor, Nehor. en, as Kumen, Kishkumen. um, as Teancum, Helorum, Moriantum. us, as Antipus, Archaentus, Lachoneus. oni, Moroni, Lamoni, Mathoni. di, Aminadi, Abinadi. hi, as Nephi, Zenephi, Limhi. ti, Lehonti, Manti. doni,[23] as Gidgiddoni, Middoni. FOOTNOTES: [22] The name Lehi itself, is to found in _Judges xv., 9._ [23] We suggest that this is a form of the Hebrew word Adonai--Lord. CHAPTER LXV. THE LANDS OF THE NEPHITES--MULEK AND LEHI--ZARAHEMLA AND NEPHI--THE WILDERNESS--THE LAND OF FIRST INHERITANCE--THE JOURNEYS NORTHWARD--THE WATERS OF MORMON--LEHI-NEPHI. To the ancient Nephites the whole of North America was known as the land of Mulek, and South America as the land of Lehi; or, to use the exact language of the Book of Mormon, the land south was called Lehi; and the land north was called Mulek. The reason why these names were so given was because the Lord brought Mulek into the land north, and Lehi into the land south, when he led them from Judea to this greater land of promise. From the days of the first Mosiah to the era of Christ's advent, South America was divided into two grand divisions. These were the land of Zarahemla and the land of Nephi. During this period, except in times of war, the Lamanites occupied the land of Nephi, and the Nephites inhabited the land of Zarahemla. That these two lands occupied the whole of the southern continent is shown by the statement of the sacred writer: Thus the land of Nephi, and the land of Zarahemla, were nearly surrounded by water; there being a small neck of land between the land northward and the land southward. The width of this narrow neck of land which connected the two continents is in one place said to have been the distance of a day and a half's journey for a Nephite. In another place it is called a day's journey. Perhaps the places spoken of are not identical, but one may have been slightly to the north of the other along the line of the isthmus.
