Shared words: hundredth part of the things

The editor's completeness-disclaimer formula, applied now to his own 3 Nephi book. This record pairs Mormon's two disclaimers in his own voice, the Words of Mormon and 3 Nephi, which share the phrase 'hundredth part of the things' verbatim (the tightest 3 Nephi leg). The word 'hundredth' occurs at exactly six verses in the record: Jacob 3:13, Words of Mormon 1:5, Helaman 3:14, 3 Nephi 5:8 ('this book cannot contain even a hundredth part of what was done'), 3 Nephi 26:6, and Ether 15:33 - each a record-keeper of this record system disclaiming completeness (corpus-wide the frozen Old Testament adds Genesis 7:11, 8:13, and Nehemiah 5:11, all in the flood-chronology / numeric sense, unrelated). The inherited-formula leg (Words of Mormon 1:5 <-> Jacob 3:13) keeps its own register at sb-mormon-hundredth, whose note already lists all six hits; this new record adds the registered 3 Nephi endpoint. sb-mormon-hundredth is not amended.
