#75
“the fixed liturgy — kept verbatim including archaic pronouns (thy/thine/art)”
Dan's ruling: the sacrament prayers (Moroni 4:3, 5:2), the Lord's Prayer (3 Ne 13:9–13, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name…"), and the baptismal formula (3 Ne 11:25 — the source carries no archaic pronoun there, so it is verbatim on its face). These are the only archaic pronouns in the edition. Boundary (flagged for Dan, ): the waters of Mormon prayer (Mosiah 18:12–13) ships at tier 2 — "I baptize you … pour out your Spirit" — on the ground that it is a narrated one-time prayer, not a text the modern church recites; the recited baptismal formula descends from 3 Ne 11:25. Confirm or promote it to tier 1
#76
“Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name—hear him!”
the Father's introduction; the second surviving imperative Behold. Dan's ruling: Behold survives only by explicit registry entry — 3 Ne 17:23 correctly reads "Look at your little ones"

THE LORD'S PRAYER, the literal string protected under the liturgy policy — ratified by Dan. Content follows the BoM source: no "Thy kingdom come," no "Give us this day our daily bread." The narrator's lead-in ("This, then, is how you should pray:") stays modern

Hel 13:31–36 — the passage's famous word, kept

THE SACRAMENT PRAYER ON THE BREAD — the literal string protected under the liturgy policy so the linter exempts it.

No change of ruling — already fixes this text verbatim
#173
