The name of this instrument is a corruption of the Arabic “Al-’ud” ([Arabic text]), through liuto and luth, into lute.

The flesh of the luth or leathery turtle (DERMOCHELYS CORIACEA) which diets on fish, crustacea, molluscs, radiates, and other animals, causes symptoms of poisoning; but the luth does not appear to be common in this part of the Pacific, though it occurs in Torres Straits.

These of great sorrow had displayed no lack, And now as Christians publicly they stand, Unto Christ's work they give each heart and hand, And one of them called Luth, possessed of means, Resolved at once to give a piece of land On which to build a chapel, midst sweet scenes; A very central place, and near two deep ravines.

Her mind to him she freely then expressed, And mentioned what she heard the day before-- How brother Luth, who was of friends the best, Would take the farm and willingly give more Than would the Creditor, if they the land restore.

GOODWORTH heard this, then spoke to Luth alone-- Told him quite plainly how the matter stood, Yet not in harsh, authoritative tone, But meekly, as more likely to do good.
