Variant spelling of EZROM
Alma 11:6
- P: ezrum
- 1830-1981: ezrom
Alma 11:12
- P: ezrum
- 1830-1981: ezrom
- 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.
