Variant spelling of IRREANTUM
-1 Nephi 17:5
O: Irreantum > Irreaantum >- Irreantum
PA: Irreantum 1830 – 1981 RLDS 1908
Discussion: Irreantum was immediately changed to Irreaantum, then later back to Irreantum in O. This is perhaps because Cowdery inserted another a when he thought he had missed the a in the word, but later realized he had not, and corrected it. This spelling, Irreantum, is also consistent with other Book of Mormon names, such as Neas and Teancum.
Summary: Skousen accepts Irreantum
