CITATION FOR THIS TRANSCRIPTION

Illinois Deseret Consortium. 2022–2023. Phonemic transcription of 𐐜 𐐒𐐳𐐿 𐐱𐑂 𐐣𐐫𐑉𐑋𐐲𐑌 [Dh Bük ôv Mormun] (1869), translated by Joseph Smith, Jr.. Accessed <DATE>, from http://faculty.las.illinois.edu/rshosted/deseret.html.

TRANSCRIPTION CONVENTIONS

Transcription conventions are based on SAMPA (Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet), a computer-readable phonetic script using 7-bit printable ASCII characters based on the International Phonetic Alphabet. Some modifications to SAMPA have been implemented. Digraphs are avoided as much as possible to simplify searches. However, to preserve readability, concessions are made for two diphthongs: The digraphs AU and AI correspond to single symbols in Deseret, viz., 𐐍 and 𐐌; researchers interested in the vowels 𐐂/A, 𐐋/U, or 𐐆/I should take note. No sequences of *𐐂𐐋 or *𐐂𐐆 are anticipated in any Deseret Matter. QI corresponds to the digraph diphthong 𐐉𐐆 in Deseret. 

Punctuation from the 1869 edition is preserved. The characters .,;!:-'%|#=^()<>{} used in the text have no phonemic value. 

| is used as a column separator in the table of contents. 

^ is used to indicate a stray mark before a word.

Original line breaks are preserved in this transcription. Hyphenation is indicated by the character =. For hyphenation in the table of contents, the hyphenated word appears exclusively on the line where the word starts. Note that some words are hyphenated across pages.

Capitalization is indicated by angle brackets <> around the letter or entire word(s). Comments, including page numbers, appear on separate lines preceded by %. If a character is only partially visible, it is preceded by #, e.g., dO#tErz (I Nephi 2:2, p. 10). Roman numerals (for chapters) are given in curly braces {}.

* Indicates Deseret spellings that are out of conformity with other examples of the same or phonologically-similar words elsewhere in the text. * Also indicates discrepancies in capitalization, punctuation, and word omission with respect to the 1854 (Liverpool) edition of the Book of Mormon. Capitalization differences may not always be indicated in our transcription.
