In the Sons of Shem scheme, ELAM-ASSHUR, mainly representing the Assyrian Empire, is an east-to-west sweep across the northern part of the fertile crescent. ARPACHSHAD-LUD-ARAM could be a separate south-to-north progression where Arpachshad is the wilderness beyond the southern end of the fertile crescent, Lud is an alternative to Lot as the ancestor of the Ammonites and Moabites east of the Jordan, to the west the people are classified under Ham, and finally Aram is in southern Syria.

My question is this: Can Lud and Lot be seen as variations of the same name?

Thanks.

Al Craig
