Discussion: Spelled as Ameleckiah but corrected to Amalickiah in Original Manuscript of the Book of Mormon.O. The heavier ink flow indicates that the correction was made later. "The common misspelling Ameleckiah is the result of Joseph Smith pronouncing the name with stress on the first syllable" (ATV 4:2529).
Acceptability: Scribal error; correct form is Amalickiah.
General Summary: Skousen accepts the correct spelling as Amalickiah (because it is spelled this way in the first two occurrences in Original Manuscript of the Book of Mormon.O, and because of corrections made); all of the other variations are scribal errors.
