Hebrew LBN = whiteness, pale? LBN = brick (cf Paul Newman as alcoholic ex-athlete homosexual Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) LBN = Laban, son of Bathuel (sic BTOAL), grandson of Abraham's brother Nachor, brother of Rebekah (sic RBQH) LBNH = white poplar (sic) LBNON = Lebanon = white (snow or tree capped) mountains
