I'm curious are all these examples of word use based on the original dictated manuscript(which I believe we don't have most of), or on the printer's manuscript(which is also edited), or later edited version of the Book of Mormon?
That’s a great question. It seems that the person deciding what the original transcript said, given that only 28% is extant, is the SAME person finding Early Modern English in the version where he has recreated 72%.

Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.
