Jeneum / Joneum Variant
-Mormon 6:14
P: Jeneum >+ Joneum/Jeneum 1981 RLDS 1908
A: Joneam 1830 – 1920 RLDS 1874
Discussion: Scribe 2 wrote Jeneum, but later corrected it to either Joneum or Jeneum (it is hard to distinguish between e and o here); A has Joneam. U's were often misread as a's, and -eum is an ending found elsewhere in the Book of Mormon, in Neum and Sheum.
Summary: Skousen accepts Joneum
