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.
INTERPRETIVE, weigh-this. The phrase 'wild flock' occurs at exactly these two verses in the corpus to date, with driven/scattered/devouring-beasts traveling alongside in both. The offered reading: Limhi, who rehearses the slain prophet's death among his people's griefs (7:26) and whose captain invoked 'the words of Abinadi' (20:21), re-voices the martyr's sentence, widened from 'ye' to 'the children of men' (8:20) and turned from threat to lament. Against: the image components are common prophetic furniture; wording differs at every point except 'wild flock'; text nowhere says Limhi heard or read Abinadi's last words (Alma, the one recorded transcriber, fled with them, 17:4).
