Discussion: Spelled ezrum in P; O is not extant for these two occurrences. [[ZEEZROM|Z<small>EEZROM</small>]] is misspelled as Zeezrum six times in [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/11?lang=eng Alma 11], all after [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/11.12?lang=eng#11 Alma 11:12], which suggests that this misspelling was influenced by ezrum. Ezrum likewise was probably set by the 1830 typesetter as ezrom because of the first occurrence of [[ZEEZROM|Z<small>EEZROM</small>]], in [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/10.31?lang=eng#30 Alma 10:31]. Cf. G. Thomasson on metonymy of Zeezrum & ezrum.
