Mormon 9:32 · 1 Nephi 1:2
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 record's language-colophon bookend: the first author (Nephi, 1 Nephi 1:2) opens writing 'in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians'; the last author (Moroni, Mormon 9:32) closes noting the characters are now 'the reformed Egyptian, being handed down and altered by us'. This link is thematic/interpretive because the only shared token is 'Egyptian' — the bookend reading (opening and closing colophons agree the record is written in an Egyptian script) is offered to weigh, not asserted. Textual facts shown as evidence: 'reformed Egyptian' is corpus-unique at Mormon 9:32; the record-language sense of 'Egyptian' occurs at exactly three verses — 1 Nephi 1:2, Mosiah 1:4 (Benjamin: Lehi 'having been taught in the language of the Egyptians'), and Mormon 9:32 (the remaining Egyptian/Egyptians hits are the Egyptian people, plus one geographic use -- 'the Egyptian sea', 2 Nephi 21:15, quoted Isaiah). Mormon 9:33 adds that they would have written in Hebrew had the plates been large enough.
