Mormon 1:1 · 3 Nephi 5:12
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.
The book titles itself after its maker, whose name traces to the land. At the head of his own book Mormon names the record for himself -- 'I, Mormon, make a record of the things which I have both seen and heard, and call it the Book of Mormon' (Mormon 1:1) -- and two books back he had traced that name to its source: 'I am called Mormon, being called after the land of Mormon' (3 Nephi 5:12). EXTENDS the existing record 3ne-mormon-name-origin (3 Nephi 5:12 <-> Mosiah 18:4, hosted mormon.md -- the land 'received its name from the king', Mosiah 18:4); this record adds the far end of the name-chain, the record's own title. The full chain: the Book of Mormon (the record, Mormon 1:1) <- Mormon the narrator (3 Nephi 5:12) <- the land of Mormon (Mosiah 18:4) <- king Noah (Mosiah 18:1,4). Three distinct referents must not be conflated -- (1) the narrator Mormon, 'a descendant of Nephi' (Mormon 1:5); (2) his father, ALSO named Mormon ('my father's name was Mormon', Mormon 1:5); (3) the land/waters of Mormon. The record is titled after the narrator, not the father and not the land directly; the narrator is named AFTER the land (3 Nephi 5:12), never the reverse.
