Book of Mormon Alma 40:13
"these shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 16:2
"they shall have cause to howl, and weep, and wail, and gnash their teeth"

Shared words: teeth

The wail/gnash cluster reused. The phrase 'outer darkness' is NEW coinage at Alma 40:13 — zero priors in the record. The phrase recurs in the New Testament (Matthew 8:12, 22:13, 25:30, now frozen in the corpus) — noted, not claimed as a source.
