Variant Spelling of MORIANCUMER

Morian cumer

Ether 2:13
P: Morian cumer
1830-1981: Moriancumer

Discussion: Spelled Morian cumer in P; since Cowdery did not capitalize cumer, perhaps shows that he intended to write the name as a single word. Moriancumer may also be a misspelling of Moriancumr, like CORIANTUMR.

Summary: Skousen accepts Moriancumer.
