Variant spelling of EZROM/EZRUM

- Alma 11:6, 12

P: ezrum

A: ezrom 1830 – 1981 RLDS 1908

Discussion: Spelled ezrum in P; O is not extant for these two occurrences. Zeezrom is misspelled as Zeezrum six times in Alma 11, all after 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, in Alma 10:31. Cf. G. Thomasson on metonymy of Zeezrum & ezrum

Summary: Skousen accepts ezrum, the earliest reading
