BYU Studies“Dumb” Puns in Alma 30: A Mesoamerican Twist on Korihor’s Talionic PunishmentThis article by Mark Alan Wright and Neal Rappleye offers a fascinating look into Korihor being "struck dumb" in Alma 30 from an ancient Mesoamerican cultural lens. Patterns in ancient languages demonstrate instances of word-play connecting punishment to the crime, particularly in and around the Mayans. Wright and Rappleye dive into historical and linguistic clues to not only argue that Korihor's fate demonstrates an example of this, but also that this cultural similarity serves as evidence linking The Book of Mormon to Mesoamerican history.

BYU StudiesThe Place—or the Tribe—Called Nahom?This article examines the “NHM” naming pattern in Near Eastern Language to find evidence that the “place… called Nahom” described in the Book of Mormon is the "Nahm" region of the Arabian Peninsula. The author Neal Rappleye uses evidence from historical sources, such as maps and inscriptions, and linguistic studies of Near Eastern language to identify “Nahom" within its correct historical context. Despite arguments from some historians that “Nahm” should be used exclusively to refer to a tribe rather than place, Rappleye introduces a rich history of Near Eastern naming conventions, demonstrating precedence for tribal names being linked with the land they in...2024-02-0232 min
