For Latter-Day-Saints: I read that Joseph Smith added about 180 proper nouns to the English Language.?

And that Shakespeare only added 30. I believe one of the words that Joseph Smith added was "cement" but does anyone know what the other words might be?

Update:

I am LDS and read the BOM everyday. I was looking for words that are everyday words like "cement". Book of Mormon names aren't in everyday english vocabulary. Sorry, I should have clarified my question better.
