Kir'iah,

apparently an ancient or archaic word, meaning a city or town. It may be compared to the word "burg" or "bury" in our own language. Closely related to Kiriah is Kereth, apparently a Phoenician form, which occurs occasionally.

Job 29:7; Pr 8:3

As a proper name it appears in the Bible under the forms of Kerioth, Kartah, Kartan, besides those immediately following.
