Variant spelling of ABINADI
Aminadi
- Mosiah 26:15
- P: Aminadi > NULL
- 1830-1981: Abinadi
Discussion: Scribe 2 wrote Aminadi but immediately caught his error and changed it to Abinadi in P. It was the first time that Scribe 2 had to write Abinadi, so a mistake is not surprising. Acceptability: Scribal error; Abinadi correct.
Source: ATV 3:1485.
Abinedi
Discussion: Scribe 2 wrote the name as Abinedi in P. It may have read the same in O, and "could have occurred if Joseph Smith pronounced the word with stress on the second syllable so that the third vowel would have been the unstressed schwa vowel" (ATV 3:1485).
Acceptability: Scribal error; Abinadi correct.
Source: ATV 3:1485.
