2 Nephi 5:12 · 1 Nephi 5:10
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
2 Nephi 5:12 reuses 1 Nephi's fixed ten-word designation 'the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass' — a recurring formula, not a unique pairing (also at 1 Nephi 3:12, 3:24; disclosed on the page). Pair chosen as the narratively meaningful endpoints: Lehi's first searching and Nephi's carrying-away in the separation.
