[1190] Lane, _Arabic-English Lexicon_, s.v. The Old
Testament title "Rock" given to Yahweh (Deut. xxxii, 18,
"the Rock that begat thee") is figurative, but may go back
to a divine rock.

[1191] On the Hebrew place-name (Job i, 1) and perhaps
personal name (Gen. xxxvi, 28) U[s.] (Uz), which seems to be
formally identical with 'Au[d.], see W. R. Smith, _Kinship
and Marriage in Early Arabia_, 1st ed., p. 260 f., and his

Nominalbuedungen_, p. 163 ff.; Delitzsch, _Assyrian Grammar_,
p. 158 ff.

[1196] The etymologies in Gen. xxx, 11 ff. are popular. In
"Baal-Gad" (Josh. xi, 17) _Gad_ may be the name of a place;
cf. Stade, _Geschichte des Volkes Israel_, i, 271, note.
