I’m angling for an internship. I think they need to broaden their apologetic umbrella to include ex-Mormon-soft atheist-simulation theorist-multiversalist-optimistic nihilisticalnisist, lay buddhist, center-leftist voices.

well done. you'll feel the tingling of a calling to intern any time now.
Smith stated that Cumorah means “Arise, O Light.” He explained the Hebrew verb qūm, “arise/rise (up),” along with the Hebrew noun ʾôr, or the feminine form ʾôrah, meaning “light, flame, fire,” together yield the meaning, “rise up, (O) light.”
What’s obvious to Mormon scholars, and that you’re missing completely, is that the word Cumorah is synonymous with ‘repository’, or ‘place where light and knowledge can rise again’. In other words, Mormon designated the places where he stored knowledge as a Repository Hill, or Hill Cumorah. There were many repository hills, not just one, where records of the ancients were buried so that some day light and knowledge would rise up again - cumorah hills.
Make peace with your brothers in Christ. Love them, lift them up, and speak no more evils of the body of Christ. Amen.

So what we're looking at here is the many-hills interpretation of qūmʾôrah theory?
I think I prefer the Copen-delmarva interpretation.
