There are a few readings in the MT which are labelled as Tiqqune sopherim,
"the corrections of the scribes." Apparently these were not masoretic
changes but earlier ones introduced to avoid "objectionable readings,"

I am interested in knowing if members of the list believe this tradition to
be true? If not, how would you describe the history of the Tiqqune
sopherim? Or, what other suggested traditions are there for the genesis of
the Tiqqune sopherim?

Thanks
