: Discussion: Deseret was changed to deseret by John Gilbert in P; deseret appears to be a common noun, which justifies the lower-case spelling. There are other Book of Mormon names for things unknown to us, such as [[CUMOMS|cumoms]], [[CURELOMS|cureloms]], [[NEAS|neas]], and [[SHEUM|sheum]]. On the other hand, there are unique objects which are capitalized, such as [[RAMEUMPTOM|Rameumptom]] and [[LIAHONA|Liahona]].
