Variant spelling of AMMONIHAH

Ammonidah

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

1830-1981: Ammonihah
Alma 8:16
P: S2 Ammonidah > S1 Ammonihah
1830-1981: Ammonihah

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

Acceptability: Presumably incorrect and scribal error; Ammonihah correct.
