Variant Spelling of KUMENONHI

-3 Nephi 19:4

P: Kumenonku > Kumenonhi > Kumenonki

A: Kumenonhi 1830 – 1981 RLDS 1908

Discussion: Cowdery first wrote Kumenonku, then Kumenonhi, then Kumenonki in P. The 1830 compositor wrote Kumenonhi. The problem 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
