Variant Spellings of SEON
- Alma 11:5, 8
P: sean
A: seon
- Alma 11:9
P: S2 sean > S1 seon
A: seon
Discussion: For all of the occurrences, Scribe 2 spelled seon as sean in P (he often wrote a's instead of o's, perhaps from misreading O). The last occurrence was corrected by Cowdery to read seon.
Summary: Although O is not extant here, seon will be maintained since that is Cowdery's revision
