Arkite Arkite

The Arkites are descendants of Canaan, who is a son of Ham, son of Noah.

The name Arkite comes from araq (araq 1703) probably meaning gnaw. This verb occurs only twice, and that in the same chapter; Job 30:3 and 17. Comparing this verb to various cognates, indicates the meaning of a nagging, senseless sensation. TWOTOT has nothing on the verb, but Klein reports relations to a similar verb meaning to flee (to go away).
NOBSE reads Belonging To Arka, but does not explain who Arka is.
