I think that most humans can relate to this. Mother Teresa, for one. The question I’ve asked myself over and over again is, “Why is God remote and seemingly unwilling to readily reveal Himself?” Of course, that question can be answered many ways. Some from a faith perspective and some from a non fa...

I look forward to reading the entry on Lachoneus, particularly the supporting evidence for the hypothesis of an unknown Spartan emporium in the Levant that the Book of Mormon Onomasticon etymology of the name leaves out.

You forcefully and correctly presented the main point, which is that the name has to be Aramaic, and that its vocalization is not "Alma" but rather "3allima."
