Book of Mormon People

An alphabetical index of the persons named in the Book of Mormon text, as adjudicated by the roster census — each entry gives the first occurrence, the text’s words there, and a one-clause identification, and links a fuller page where one exists.

Basis: this roster is built from the capitalized-token census defined by scripts/data/census-scan-spec.md (sha256 ce404dd4386b) over the verse lines of the Book of Mormon — 660 candidate types, of which 204 were machine-dropped as sentence-initial-only (the classifier flagged 207; 3 were rescued into the census by hand) and the rest adjudicated by hand (the person/place filter is lead judgment, never a script’s call); it yields the 282 person entries below, 2 of them by typed beyond-scan exemption for entities named without capitalization, which the scan cannot see by construction (154 place entries live on the companion roster); the separate header pass ran and found no header-only entities.
