Variant spelling of CUMOMS

comoms

Ether 9:19b
P: comoms
1830-1981: cumoms

Discussion: Cowdery wrote the first instance as cumoms, for some reason Cowdery wrote the second instance as comoms. If we assume that the first occurrence is spelled correctly, as the 1830 typesetter did, comoms is a scribal error.

Summary: Skousen accepts cumoms.
