village

The Hebrew and Greek that is translated as “village” or “town” in English is translated in Noongar as karlamaya or “fire (used for “home“) + houses” (source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang).

Translation commentary on Joshua 15:33 - 15:36

THE SECOND DISTRICT: cities in the foothills.

Here fifteen cities are named; the total (verse 36b) is given as fourteen cities.The Septuagint, instead of and Gederothaim in verse 36, has “and its sheepfolds,” thus making the total fourteen cities; but no current translation has this, and Hebrew Old Testament Text Project does not favor it.
