Revision as of 11:13, 4 May 2011
Variant spelling of JORDAN
-1 Nephi 10:9
O: jordan
-1 Nephi 17:32
O: Jorden
P: Jordon > Jordan
-2 Nephi 19:1
P: Jordon
A: Jordan
-Mormon 5:3
P: S2 Jordan > S1 Jordon
Discussion: For the first three occurrences (where it refers to the KJV Jordan), Jordan is misspelled. In Mormon 5:3, Scribe 2 wrote Jordan, then Scribe 1 corrected to Jordon in P. Although this could be a legitimate change for the city, because of Cowdery's other errors in spelling Jordan, it is likely that his correction is wrong here.
Summary: Maintain Jordan for all KJV instances and for the city, since it is most likely.
