Variant spelling of AMMARON

-4 Nephi 1:47

P: Ammoron > AMMARON

A: AMMARON

-4 Nephi 1:48, 49; Mormon 1:2a, 1:2b, 5; 2:17a, 17b, 17c; 4:23

P: Ammoron

A: AMMARON

Discussion: The 1830 edition, which was set from O, always spelled the name as AMMARON. In P, 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
