Discussion: Scribe 2 wrote Jeneum, but later corrected it to either Joneum or Jeneum (it is hard to distinguish between e and o here); the 1830 has Joneam. U's were often misread as a's, and -eum is an ending found elsewhere in the Book of Mormon, in NEUM and SHEUM.
Summary: Skousen accepts Joneum.
