Variant Spellings of ZORAM

OPA: Zoram

- 1 Nephi 4:35b

O: Zorum

P: Zoram/Zorum

- 1 Nephi 4:37

O: Zorum

P: Zoram/Zorum

Discussion: Scribe 3 first spelled this name as Zoram, but for the next two times in O he spelled it as Zorum. In P, Cowdery's spellings can be read as either Zoram or Zorum (with a u or a).

Summary: Skousen accepts Zoram, the first spelling
