Mormon 6:14 Textual Variants

As discussed under Mormon 6:2, the correct reading for the first name here is Cumenihah. One could interpret this name as ending in the suffix -(i)hah, with the base morpheme being cumeni or cumen. The first of these base morphemes exists as the name of the city Cumeni (which was probably named after a person by that name). In this particular case, the 1830 reading Camenihah was replaced by Cumenihah, the reading in 𝓟, in the 1908 RLDS edition and in the 1981 LDS edition.
