Discussion: since both P and A have an h at the end, O must have had an h too. There are many names in the Book of Mormon that end in h. Angolah also looks more similar to other Book of Mormon names, although there is not a lot of evidence for one name over the other. Cowdery often wrote his o's to where they looked like e's, so the 1830 typesetter probably misread O. | Discussion: since both P and A have an ''h'' at the end, O must have had an ''h'' too.
