most likely. There Mount Kasios looks
clown on the Orontes mouth, and seems to
retain the name of Kash.
Khabirl This name, which merely means
"confederates," has been conjectured to refer
to the Hebrews. But we find them first
invading Ubi (Damascus) and Ashteroth,
and in alliance with Abdashirta. This points
to their coming in about the middle of Syria,
and not from the south, which seems to
have been the Hebrew way. It seems
quite possible that Hebron was named after
them.
Khalunni is connected with Bozrah, in
the region of Golan ; and though Khalunni
would normally remain as Holan, yet as there
is some variation in what seem to be forms
of this name, Golan for the city and region,
and 'Allan for the river traversing it, Khal-
unni may well represent the original name,
which has been modified to Golan and Allan
by later peoples.
Kharabu, named with places near Joppa,
may be El Khurab (u E. Joppa); but
perhaps it is only a generic name for a
ruin.
