This is, indeed, helpful information from Leeroy.  I offer one note for
clarification:

BHK is sometimes used as an abbreviation for BHKittel, i.e. the first two
editions of Biblia Hebraica which were based on the Second Rabbinic Bible.

If BHK is understood as BHKahle (= BH3, 1937), Kahle switched to
Leningradensis.  Kahle actually hoped to use Aleppo (whether along with or
instead of L is not clear to me), but he could not obtain access to A.
