Original sentence: "Kolob," may be of Semitic origin, but many believe it may not have been "translated" or rendered from the papyri Smith possessed, but merely transliterated from a word he allegedly heard Chanderler use, and this prior to Smith's translation of some of the papyri's characters.There is little support that the word is translated from any of the hieroglyphs themselves, although some have attempted to show correlation
Edited sentence: From Smith's own notes, it is apparent that the word is not translated from any of the hieroglyphs themselves, which indicates that there was no actual translation of the hieroglyphs, but an interpretation of the pictographs accompanying them.One theory put forth by critics is that the word "Kolob," while indeed of Semitic origin, was not translated from the papyri Smith possessed, but merely transliterated from a word he allegedly heard Chanderler use, and this prior to Smith's translation of some of the papyri's characters
