According to Diane Wirth, the term Limnah (Alma 11:5), a gold standard, has not an Egyptian, but a Hebrew meaning of "to count or weigh." (Brown, Driver, and Briggs, "A Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament"). These terms appear to be quite fitting since we know that the Nephites used a combination of Egyptian and Hebrew in the language they referred to as "reformed Egyptian." [Diane E. Wirth, A Challenge to the Critics, pp. 47-48]
