The 𐤋𐤄𐤁𐤉𐤌 (Lahabayam)

Lahabay or Lehabite are the descendants of 𐤌𐤑𐤓𐤉𐤌 (Matsarayam) 𐤁𐤍 (ban) 𐤇𐤌 (Kham). Their name is associated with 𐤋𐤄𐤁 (lahab) or flaming blade. They are only mentioned once in the scriptures as a people or tribe. They are the same as the 𐤓𐤁𐤅 (Rabau) or 𐤋𐤁𐤅 (Labau) of the 𐤌𐤑𐤓𐤉𐤌 (Matsarayam) inscriptions, and from them, 𐤋𐤅𐤁𐤉‎ (Lauabay) and the 𐤋𐤅𐤁𐤉𐤌‎ (Lauabayam) derived their name. They appear to have inhabited the northern part of Africa to the west of 𐤌𐤑𐤓𐤉𐤌 (Matsarayam), though latterly driven from the coast by the Greek (Yauan) colonists of the Cyrenaica.
