Kinah

Kinah or qinah (plural kinoth, qinot, qinoth) is Hebrew for a dirge or lamentation. Its general meaning is a dirge or lament, especially as sung by Jewish professional mourning women. Specifically, it refers to a Hebrew elegy chanted traditionally on the Ninth of Ab. The Jerusalem Bible refers to Isaiah 47 as a qinah or "lament for Babylon".[1]

Kinah was also a city in the extreme south of Judah (Joshua 15:22). It was probably not far from the Dead Sea, in the Wady Fikreh.

Kinah is also the term for coins in the Aion: The Tower of Eternity MMO.
