Variant Spellings of SHIBLUM

- Alma 11:16

O: shiblum > shillum > shilum

P: shilum

A: shiblum 1830 – 1981 RLDS 1908

- Alma 11:17

OP: shilum

A: shiblum 1830 – 1981 RLDS 1908

Discussion: Cowdery first wrote shiblum, then shillum, then shilum in O for the first occurrence. Since Oliver would not have known how many l's shilum has, Joseph Smith must have spelled it out for him. The second occurrence shows no correction, but when the 1830 compositor set the name, he spelled it as shiblum, probably because of shiblon.

Summary: Skousen accepts shilum
