Variant Spellings of ONTI(ES)

- Alma 11:6

P: S2 onhi > S1 onti

- Alma 11:13

P: S2 anti > S1 an onti

A: onti

- Alma 11:22

P: S2 anties > S1 onties

- Alma 11:25

P: anties > onties

Discussion: For the first three occurrences, Scribe 2 misspelled onti(es), and Cowdery corrected it in P. For the last occurrence, Scribe 2 again made the error but corrected it himself.

Summary: Skousen affirms onti(es) is the correct spelling, even if archaic
