Variant Spelling of KUMENONHI

Kumenonku

3 Nephi 19:4
P: Kumenonku > Kumenonhi > Kumenonki
1839-1981: Kumenonhi

Kumenonki

3 Nephi 19:4
P: Kumenonku > Kumenonhi > Kumenonki
1839-1981: Kumenonhi

Discussion: Cowdery first wrote Kumenonku, then Kumenonhi, then Kumenonki in P. The 1830 compositor wrote Kumenonhi. The challenge is that Cowdery often wrote h to look like k. In reality, the k or h spelling both make good arguments, but textual evidence leans towards Kumenonhi.

Summary: This is a scribal error, and Kumenonhi is correct.
