Shared words: bones

Ether 11:6's prophesied intervening state ('their bones should become as heaps of earth upon the face of the land') pairs with the bone-covered land Limhi's lost expedition found (Mosiah 8:8) - the physical evidence that occasioned the 24-plates recovery (Mosiah 8:9). Distinct verse-pair from jaredites.md's eth-jar-bones-unburied (Ether 14:22 <-> Omni 1:22, the aftermath at close range) and from alma-mormon-ed-bone-land (Alma 22:30 <-> Mosiah 8:8, the Nephites' name for the bone-land). Cross-links: alma-mormon-ed-bone-land; jaredites.md eth-jar-bones-unburied; the many-waters weigh-this morm-geo-cumorah-many-waters (Mormon 6:4 <-> Mosiah 8:8).
