* Discussion: Spelled Kishcumen in all instances of O. For some reason Cowdery changed every instance of ''c'' to a ''k'' in P, even though there is no manuscript evidence for this change; perhaps he thought the ''c'' looked strange after ''sh'', or he was influenced by the first ''k'' of the word. In any event, it was a conscious change. In the instances where Kishcumen ends in –''camen'', the ''a'' could also easily be a ''u''.
