- O, P: Oneidah
- 1830-1981: Onidah
- Alma 47:5b
- O, P: Oneidah
- 1830-1981: Onidah
Discussion: Both occurrences in Alma 47:5 have the spelling Oneidah in O and P; the 1830 compositor set the name as Onidah, perhaps based on an incorrect spelling for the Iroquois tribe. The hill in Alma 32:4 and the place of arms in Alma 47:5 are distinct.
Summary: Skousen accepts Onidah for Alma 32:4, and Oneidah for the two occurrences in Alma 47:5.
