Variant spelling of AMMONIHAH

Ammonidah

Alma 8:6
Pms: S2 Ammonidah > S1 Ammonihah
1830-1981: Ammonihah
Alma 8:7
Pms: S2 Ammonidah > S1 Ammonihah
1830-1981: Ammonihah

1830-1981: Ammonihah
Alma 8:16

Discussion: In all of these instances, word was spelled as Ammonidah by Scribe 2 in Pms, but it was later corrected by Oliver Cowdery. It seems Scribe 2 misread the h as d in Oms, although Oms is not extant for this part.

Acceptability: Presumably incorrect and scribal error; Ammonihah correct.
