| Summary: | In previous articles I have discussed the nature and prominence of certain linguistic structures in the Book of Mormon that are typical of ḥāl-clauses translated from Hebrew or Egyptian.

The results of this preliminary investigation into styles and these linguistic structures as found in these three works are worth noting. |
