UXLC 2.5 UXLC 2.6 2026.10.19 proposed 2026.04.10 1 Josh 10 24 20 Ben Denckla bdenckla@alum.mit.edu true Remove sheva from vav; reduce doubled dagesh on vav to a single dagesh.

BHL has retains the final aleph and has no qere/ketive pair for this word. BHLA has no entry for this verse. Add Pending vowel 2 Jer 51 9 2 Ben Denckla bdenckla@alum.mit.edu true Change munah to mahapakh under the pe. Folio_274B 2 23 Credit: Sefaria.org. רִפִּ֣ינוּ resh hiriq pe dagesh hiriq munah yod nun vav dagesh רִפִּ֤ינוּ resh hiriq pe dagesh hiriq mahapakh yod nun vav dagesh 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. Add Pending accent 3 Jer 49 19 11 Ben Denckla bdenckla@alum.mit.edu true Change qadma over tsadi to pashta. Folio_273A 2 23 Credit: Sefaria.org. אֲרִיצֶ֨נּוּ֙ alef hataf-patah resh hiriq yod tsadi segol qadma nun dagesh vav dagesh pashta אֲרִיצֶ֙נּוּ֙ alef hataf-patah resh hiriq yod tsadi segol pashta nun dagesh vav dagesh 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. Add Pending accent 4 2 Sam 11 11 10 Ben Denckla bdenckla@alum.mit.edu true Remove qadma from nun, place pashta on yod. Folio_174A 1 7 Credit: Sefaria.org. וַאדֹנִ֨י vav patah alef dalet holam nun hiriq qadma yod וַאדֹנִי֙ vav patah alef dalet holam nun hiriq yod pashta 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. Add Pending accent 5 Judg 21 16 1 Ben Denckla bdenckla@alum.mit.edu true Remove qadma on resh; place a pashta on the final vav. Folio_150A 1 22 Credit: Sefaria.org. וַיֹּֽאמְר֨וּ vav patah yod dagesh holam meteg alef mem sheva resh qadma vav dagesh וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ vav patah yod dagesh holam meteg alef mem sheva resh vav dagesh pashta 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.

Folio_144A 1 17 Credit: Sefaria.org. אוֹת֥וֹ alef vav holam tav merkha vav holam אוֹת֥וֹ 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.

Its shortness also suggests a meteg. This change proposal was suggested by results from a run of Richard Goerwitz's accent grammar checker on a recent (2020) Groves Center text.

Add Pending accent 10 Deut 5 8 2 Ben Denckla bdenckla@alum.mit.edu true Change pashta over sin to qadma. Folio_102A 3 24 Credit: Sefaria.org. תַעֲשֶֽׂ֙ה־ tav patah ayin hataf-patah shin sin-dot segol pashta meteg he maqaf תַעֲשֶֽׂ֨ה־ tav patah ayin hataf-patah shin sin-dot segol qadma meteg he maqaf This Decalogue text contains double accent, the text is also in poor condition. The mark in question is a broken line coming out of the rightmost leg of the sin. A pashta is post-positive and appears on the left side of the letter. One or two pashtas can occur on a word. If a word has a single pashta, it must occur on the final letter of the word. If a word has two pashtas, one occurs on the final letter and the other acts as an "accent helper" placed over the accented letter. This word has a single, pashta/qadma-like mark over the sin and no corresponding mark on the final letter. Therefore, the mark in question isn't a pashta, but a qadma, BHL has a qadma centered over the sin. (Dotan numbers the division differently than the UXLC and other modern texts. He combines UXLC verses 6 and 7 into a single verse so that UXLC verse 8 is BHL verse 7.) BHLA has no entry for this verse. Add Pending accent
