Discussion: In [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/33.15?lang=eng#14 Alma 33:15], Cowdery first wrote Zenock, then he crossed it out and wrote Zenoch in O. In [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/34.7?lang=eng#6 Alma 34:7], Zenoch is the spelling. In [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/hel/8.20?lang=eng#19 Helaman 8:20], Cowdery intended to write the name in P as Zenock. His ''k'' here looks almost like an ''h'', so that the 1830 compositor set as Zenoch. The -''ck'' ending is not found in any biblical or other Book of Mormon names, but -''ch'' is.
