Hudino, Great Grandfather of Jethro
On July 4 2020, user 103.195.0.118 added the following to the Abida page: "He was the father of Hudino, the great grandfather of Jethro." This tidbit seemed interesting, but upon looking it up I could find no reputable source claiming a direct descent from Abida to Jethro. Even worse, however, I could find absolutely no reference for any figure by the name of "Hudino," save for pages that are directly copy-pasted from this page. The only possible identity I could think up was that this was a reference to the Islamic prophet Hud, however this seems doubtful on three counts: One, I've never seen a variation on Hud "Hudino." Two, Hud would well pre-date Abida. Third, Hud has never been accounted as an ancestor of Jethro so far as I know. The character of Hudino seems to be a total fantasy, but I'd love to be proven wrong. Without a reference, however, the claim should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flashman7870 (talk • contribs) 22:48, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
