H871. Atharim
אֲתָרִים proper name, of a location only Numbers 21:1 הָא ׳דֶּרֶח; so ᵐ5, perhaps (Di) name of a caravan-route, compare vestige, footprint; others (after ᵑ6 ᵑ7) translate way of the spies (compare 13:22); but הָאֲתָרִים for הַתָּרִים is highly improbable, and a locality would hardly receive its designation from the spies.
אתת (? √ of following, meaning dubious. LagM ii. 254 proposes √ אנה, whence he derives also Arabic a tool used in tillage).
