Why do so many names in the Book of Mormon end with -iah and -ihah?

Thomas R. Valletta

“A large proportion of Book of Mormon names end in -iah and -ihah. The same ending is peculiar to Palestinian names of Lehi’s time but not so prevalent other times” (Nibley, Teachings of the Book of Mormon, 3:283).
