General Root Meaning
Yaguth
M. Asad: As is evident from early sources, these five gods were among the many worshipped by the pre-Islamic Arabs as well (see the book Kitab al-Asnam by Hisham ibn Muhammad al-Kalbi, ed. Ahmad Zaki, Cairo, 1914) Their cult had probably been introduced into Arabia from Syria and Babylonia, where it seems to have existed in early antiquity.

And they said, "(Do) not leave your gods, and (do) not leave Wadd and not Suwa and not Yaguth and Yauq and Nasr."
