Mordechai Schwimmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> comments:
Your correspondent is probably alluding to the readings of the Mishnahs in
the Mishnayot, and
not to their readings in Shas.
In effect, in the Mishnayot, the first Mishnah of tractate Zevachim reads
"le'Shem Chovah",
whereas the first Mishnah in tractate Menachot reads "mi'Shum Chova".
(Please see the "Shinuei
Nuschaot" to the locations cited.)

The Kollel replies:
Thank you Rav Schwimmer for helping us out!
I see that the Shinuyei Nuscha'os records the Bavli's Girsa of "Leshum" by
both, as well as the Cambridge Manuscript (one of the more reliable
manuscripts of the Mishnah) of "Mishum" by both.
After reviewing the terminology of the Mishnah quickly in a database, it
would appear that the Bavli's version is more correct. The word "Leshum" is
used consistently when saying "for the sake of" or "with the intention of".
Examples of this abound: Gitin 3:12, 4:4, 8:5, Nedarim 4:8, 5:6, 8:7,
Pesachim 6:5, Shekalim 3:4, Yadayim 4:2). On the other hand, "Mishum"
always means "in the name of" or "for the transgression of" or along those
lines.
The only exception to this seems to be the Mishum of Bava Basra 8:8 (see
also Pe'ah 1:3, 1:6, which can be explained away).
Best wishes,
Mordecai Kornfeld
