Discussion: Scribe 2 wrote the name as Abinedi in [[Abbreviation|P]]. It may have read the same in [[Original Manuscipt of the Book of Mormon.|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" (''[[Royal Skousen, Analysis of Textual Variants in the Book of Mormon. 6 Parts.

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

Alma 5:11
P: Abinedi
1830-1981: Abinadi

Acceptability: Scribal error; Abinadi correct.

Source: ATV 3:1485.
