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 15:60
TENTH (ELEVENTH) DISTRICT: only two cities are listed. Kiriath Jearim is known (see 9.17), but Rabbah has not been definitely identified. The district seems to lie near the northern border of Judah, where it touches the border of Benjamin.
