------------------------------

Does any one know how many times the letter Reish
appears in the Tanakh with
a Dagesh?

(Example: LeShorekha in Proverbs 3:8).

It's possible that there are variations in different
Masoretic manuscripts,
but perhaps someone knows how many there are in the
LC.

Many thanks!

There are variations! For example, Job 39:10 — without
dagesh: LC & Aleppo; with dagesh: Leningrad # 13 and
Sassoon # 1053. And of course, vice versa. Since of
that I'll compare both LC & AC.

And I'll definitely draw the distinction between
dagesh and dehiq.



Best & shabbat shalom
