In BHS Deut 6:4 in the printed text one sees large letters. Why are the
large letters there? Kelly, Mynatt and Crawford in _The Masorah of Biblia
Hebraica Stuttgartensia_ p. 36 suggests "the letter shows that the reading
must be precise. This is probably the function of the large letters in
Deut. 6:4." Do you agree? If not, what other possible reasons could there
be?
