Words of Mormon 1:11 · 1 Nephi 19:4
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.
Nephi's creation-time instruction and Mormon's far-end report share the 'handed down … generation' formula. The phrase 'handed down' recurs widely (eighteen verses corpus-wide). The pair rests on the shared 'handed down … generation' custody formula; the exact string 'handed down from one generation to another' stands at 1 Nephi 19:4, Alma 37:4, Alma 63:13, Helaman 3:16 (per hel-cfs-handed-down). Caveat: WoM 1:11's 'they' covers the combined records. Distinct pair from jac-plates-handed-down (Jacob 1:3 ↔ 1 Ne 19:4).
