Etymology: The Lehite GN JACOBUGATH may
be a combination of the names/words JACOB plus -U-, “and,” plus -GATH,
“[olive/wine] press,” thus, literally, “Jacob and the press.” Alternatively, JACOBUGATH
may be a combination of Jacob and a hypothetical variant pair *-Ogath/-Ugath,
thus “Jacob of/at Ugath/Ogath.” Perhaps the location JACOBUGATH is identical
with the Jaredite city of Ogath. ("Jacobugath," in Dictionary of
