No change to the text will be made.
Every verse should end with a siluq accent. No siluq is present in this word (a meteg occurs on the initial he).
The most likely position for a siluq on this word is under the nun.
Ben Denckla: BHL has a vertical bar (equivalent to Unicode meteg) under both the he and the nun;
BHL Appendix A has a vertical bar (equivalent to Unicode meteg) only under he.
That is, the BHL text adds a siluq under the nun while aware it is missing in the LC text.

Although LC text has a smudge extending partly under the yod, it is unlikely that there is an accent under the yod.
A diagonal, southeast-to-northwest blurr occurs at the top tip of the yod.
This could be a qadma, providing a primary accent on the word.
The Hebrew Wikisource Miqra According to the Masorah (23 Sep 2022) has a qadma on the yod.

Although the quality of the LC text is poor the dagesh in the bet is clear.
Ben Denckla: BHL has a dagesh in this bet. BHL Appendix A has no entry for this word.
The dagesh is dark and well-positioned, but smaller than many dots near the tav.
The interior of the tav contains an inexplicable, very thin, V-shaped line.
Ben Denckla: BHL has a NO dagesh in the tav. BHL Appendix A has no entry for this word.
Ben Denckla: BHL has a no dagesh in the tav. BHL Appendix A has no entry for this word.

The revia over the tav is merged with an accent from the preceding line.
Ben Denckla: BHL agrees that this tav has a revia

The former maqaf is likely a remnant of the top bar of the tav arising from a crack in the ink.

The text quality in the region around this word is good.
The tsere under the ayin is clear; the three dots to the left of the tsere are confusing.
None of the these dots can be associated with the lamed on the next line.
Identify the 3 dots as North, South, and West.
North is lighter and blurry; but has a slight vertical component.
The space between North and South appears empty.
The West dot might be ignored with North and South joined to make a near-vertical meteg/merkha.
Alternatively, a tevir could be formed from all three dots again by joining North and South;
unfortunately, this gives the odd arrangement of two successive tevirs in the verse.
Ben Denckla: BHL has a merkha under the ayin; BHL Appendix A makes no comment on this word.
Transcription notes:

The word in question is the ketiv part of a ketiv/qere pair.
In the LC the body text contains the ketiv consonants with the qere vowel and accent markings.
The consonants for the qere are written in the margin.
The existing ketiv body text has a vav as the final character; a "his ten thousand" ending.
The referent for the "his" is David in word 20.
The change author suggests that the final letter might instead be a yod; a "my ten thousand" ending.
No referent for "my" is apparent in the verse.
The qere consonants in the margin clearly end in yod then vav;
a grammatical "his ten thousands" ending shown in the following qere word 21,
so that proposed difference between the ketiv/qere forms is "my ten thousand" and "his ten thousands".
That is, the proposal changes the person from "my" to "his" while changing the number "ten thousand" to "ten thousands".
This in contrast to preceding ketiv/qere pair in words 18 and 19
which has a ketiv meaning "his thousand" and a qere reading "his thousands".
That is, in words 18, 19, the ketiv/qere forms are thousand/thousands and both have third person singular endings referring to Saul, word 17.
The parallelism common in the Hebrew text (words 17, 18, 19 parallel to words 20, 21, 22) would suggest
that the following ketiv/qere pair in words 21, 22 would be "his ten thousand"/"his ten thousands".
Placing a yod as the final ketiv constant in word 21 adds an unknown referent (who is "my"?)
and breaks an obviously intended parallelism with words 18, 19.
Ben Denckla: The distinguished Israeli biblical scholar Mordecai Breuer (1921-2007) as well as the change author, Daniel Holman,
noted that the final letter is somewhat ambiguous and might be construed as yod.
BHL ends the word with a vav; BHL Appendix A makes no comment on this word.

No change to the text will be made.
This note and the note on the following verse delimit an anomaly in the LC caused by scribal error.
The error has been partially erased in the LC, but enough remains to understand what may have happened.
The error has no effect on the transcription because the surrounding verses are legibly written.
The text following this word at column 1, line 25, of Folio_171B is partially erased in the LC.
The erasure leaves only the top part of the text at the bottom of column 1
(as shown in the image) and at the top of column 2.
Then 2 Samuel 6:4 appears legibly at column 2, line 3 of Folio_171B.
Both verse 6:3 and 6:4 contain the 5 word consonantal sequence "וישאהו מבית אבינדב אשר בגבעה".
In verse 6:3 this sequence begins after the 7-th word and has a zaqef qatan on the aleph of the first word, "וישאהו";
the word following the sequence is "ווְעֻזָּ֣א".
In verse 6:4 this sequence starts the verse and has a revia on the aleph of the first word, "וישאהו" ;
the word following the sequence is "עִ֖ם".
Careful examination by Ben Denckla of the erasure suggests that the erased consonantal text is a repetition of
consonants of 2 Samuel 6:3.8-20.
This consonantal text was then pointed with the points from 6:4.1-5.
This can be seen by the revia on the "וַיִּשָּׂאֻ֗הוּ" in the erasure.
The accents in the erasure stop after the 5-th word as the accent writer realized that the 6-th word
didn't belong to 6:4.
The hypothesis is that the consonant writer repeated 6:3.8-20 thinking he was writing 6:4.
When he realized his mistake, he then wrote the consonants for 6:4 and the remainder of the page.
The accent writer applied 6:4 accents to the accidental repetition of 6:3.8-20, stopping when he reached the 6-th word
which was incorrect for verse 6:4.
A decision was then made to partially erase the repetition.

This consonantal text was then pointed with the points from 6:4.1-5.
This can be seen by the revia on the "וַיִּשָּׂאֻ֗הוּ" in the erasure.
The accents in the erasure stop after the 5-th word as the accent writer realized that the 6-th word
didn't belong to 6:4.
The hypothesis is that the consonant writer repeated 6:3.8-20 thinking he was writing 6:4.
When he realized his mistake, he then wrote the consonants for 6:4 and the remainder of the page.
The accent writer applied 6:4 accents to the accidental repetition of 6:3.8-20, stopping when he reached the 6-th word
which was incorrect for verse 6:4.
A decision was then made to partially erase the repetition.

The UXLC does not split the 6 consonants between the resh and the aleph, lacks a maqaf after the resh,

ayin mem yod het vav resh
ayin mem yod het vav dalet
This is a ketiv word. Its consonants appear in the body of the LC text;
the qere consonants appear in the margin.
This word is a proper name of a king.
The next-to-last consonant (yod or vav) is ambiguous in the ketiv in the body text,
but is clearly a vav in the qere in the margin.
BHL Appendix A lists both possibilities (yod or vav).
Ben Denckla: The LC is unique among sources studied by Breuer
that has the possibility of a yod in the second-to-last position of this word.
The final letter is clearly a dalet in both ketiv and qere forms in the LC from the image.
The BHL ends the ketiv with a resh; in BHL Appendix A both possibilities end in a dalet.
Ben Denckla: BHL ends the ketiv in a resh, עמיחור (last two letters vav-resh).
BHL Appendix A lists two possible readings of the L ketiv, both ending in ד (dalet) and both question-marked:
Reading 1: עמיחיד (?) (yod-dalet), Reading 2: עמיחוד (?) (vav-dalet).

mem sheva nun patah shin shin-dot dagesh segol revia he
A faint blurr above the left-most dot above the shin may have made the accent a zaqef-qatan.
The accent will be transcribed as a revia.
The BHL has a revia above the shin; BHL Appendix A has no entries for this word.
Transcription notes:
Add note of type t at position >מְנַשֶּׁ֗<. This result has no BHL analysis tags.
bet dagesh hiriq tav sheva qof patah merkha final-pe
bet dagesh hiriq tav sheva qof qamats merkha final-pe
The dot between the horizontal bar and the merkha under the qof is dark and well-positioned.
BHL has qamats on this qof; BHL Appendix A makes no comment on this word.
The bet in the LC has a dark rafe and a faint, but well-positioned, potential dagesh.
The potential dagesh might also be an erasure or spot on the vellum.
By Masoretic practice the rafe indicates the absence of a dagesh.
The UXLC conforms to this practice and eliminates the dagesh.
Although the UXLC doesn't normally show rafe marks,
one is added here as its presence is key to the transcription.
Ben Denckla: The BHL has no dagesh on the bet. BHL Appendix A has no entry for this word.
