References to Miqra According to the Masorah (MAM) in these changes are to the Sefaria MAM available when the change was entered. This version can be viewed via the Links list on any book page. The Sefaria MAM is not as up-to-date as the Hebrew Wikisource Miqra According to the Masorah, however.
References to BHL in these changes are to Aron Dotan's Biblia Hebraica Leningradensia, 2001. The body text (BHL) represents Dotan's eclectic understanding of the Masorah; BHL Appendix A contains his detailed notes about the LC text itself. BHL Appendix A influences, but does not determine, the UXLC transcription. Extracts from the BHL Foreword are available in the Supplements area.
References to Breuer-DM in these changes are to the sections titled "The Text and its Sources" (הנוסח ומקורותיו) in various volumes of the Da'at Miqra (דעת מקרא) series published by Mosad HaRav Kook.

| In the body text the last letter may appear to be a single ayin; however, the last two two letters of this word are nun, vav, as seen from the qere letters in the margin. The mahapakh is very clear. BHL has a mahapakh under the pe. BHLA has no entry for this verse. |

Change qadma over tsadi to pashta. |

| A pashta is a post-fix accent. When two post-fix accents occur in the same word the first post-fix accent is called an "accent helper" because it shows where the accent is actually to be placed in the word. The shift from a qadma accent to a pasha accent requires a leftward shift of the symbol by one half of the letter's width. It's NOT perceptible with some fonts. BHL has a distinct pashta over the tsadi. BHLA has no entry for this verse. |

| The accent is clearly on the yod, not the nun. The mark is post-positive and should be a pashta rather than a qadma. BHL has a qadma on the nun. BHLA has no entry for this verse. |

| The accent is on the vav and must be a pashta. Do not mistake the tipeha of Judges 21:15.7 on the preceding line as being a pashta/qadma. This change proposal was suggested by results from a run of Richard Goerwitz's accent grammar checker on a recent (2020) Groves Center text. For more information, see Ben Denckla's "Goerwitz Run on WLC" at https://bdenckla.github.io/wlc-utils/accgram/goerwitz.html. BHL has a qadma over the resh. BHLA has no entry for this verse. |

| Unicode | alef vav holam tav merkha vav holam |
| The text is of poor quality here. The darker northeast-to-southwest could be a merkha; however, it is a geresh from the following line, Judg 11:25.3. With imagination, an extremely slight southeast-to-northwest line emerges from the upper portion of the putative merkha; this accent could be a munah. This change proposal was suggested by results from a run of Richard Goerwitz's accent grammar checker on a recent (2020) Groves Center text. For more information, see Ben Denckla's "Goerwitz Run on WLC" at https://bdenckla.github.io/wlc-utils/accgram/goerwitz.html. BHL has merkha under the tav. BHLA has no entry for this verse. |

| The line under the kaf lacks the northeast-to-southwest inclination of a merkha. Its shortness also suggests a meteg.
