I was asked both before and during the conference whether I would be posting my #IQSA18 talks on Twitter; With such enthusiasm why would I do anything but comply? Here is a thread. 
The title of my talk speaks of a 'Quranic Archetype'; What I mean by this is that I think that all Qurans we have go back to a single written source -- a single book from which all Qurans were copied (with the notable exception the Sanaa Palimpsest).
So how do we go about showing that there was a single Archetype?
niʿmat aḷḷāh 'the grace of God' can be spelled in two different ways in Quranic orthography نعمت الله and نعمه الله.
There is no difference in meaning or context, just two ways of writing the same thing.
