Discussion: The 1830 edition, which was set from Oms, always spelled the name as Ammaron. In Pms, Scribe 2 consistently wrote it as Ammoron, although it is fairly evident from other instances in this manuscript that Scribe 2 often wrote "actual a's as o's."

General Summary: Skousen accepts Ammaron as the proper spelling.
