Dear Reinhard, according to the BHQ (which, I suppose, You checked) the Cairo codex of Prophetes does have a Sōf Pasūq here (You can check a facsimille - which could e.g. be found in Heidelberg, WTS, signature AT Ca 40 ;-). The Cairo codex is (according to the colophone) more than 100 years older than L and perhaps about 50 years older than A. (Actually it is the oldest dated masoretic ms we know about.) So this may be possibly be an error which became later a part of the tradition, or was just copied. As for the possibility of some interpretation I found nothing in jewish commentaries and midrashim (however my database is very simple and contains only the most important of them). I'll try to check in masoretic lists. (If it really would be an important tradition I guess it would be mentioned in Mp of some codices...) best wishes from Prague, Petr -- Petr Tomasek <http://www.etf.cuni.cz/~tomasek> Jabber: [email protected] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EA 355:001 DU DU DU DU EA 355:002 TU TU TU TU EA 355:003 NU NU NU NU NU NU NU EA 355:004 NA NA NA NA NA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
