Variant Spellings of ZORAM

Zorum

1 Nephi 4:35
O: Zorum
P: Zoram / Zorum
1830-1981: Zoram
1 Nephi 4:37
O: Zorum
P: Zoram / Zorum
1830-1981: Zoram

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.
