Would we expect the Book of Mormon to use the word “seating” to mean accession to political power?

In an analysis of 131 positive correspondences between the Book of Mormon and Dr Michael Coe’s book “The Maya”, Bruce E. Dale and Brian Dale observe:

Coe’s standard: “Epigraphers conclude that pectoral reverse records the ‘seating’ or accession to power, of the ruler in question” (p. 91). “Important glyphs now known to relate to dynastic affairs include … inauguration or ‘seating’ in office” (p. 274).
Analysis of correspondence: On three separate occasions, the Book of Mormon uses exactly this word seating or seat to describe the holding of or accession to political power. So the correspondence is specific, detailed and unusual. It seems very unlikely that Joseph Smith would have correctly “guessed” this particular word.

Where would Joseph Smith have learned such a unique usage of this word?
