the MT>>>> unless you will date the Mishnah after the 6th century CE, from 
which time the masoretes began their work, and here we have to remember that 
there is not a masoretic text but masoretic texts (Tov 1992:22; Hjelm SJOT 
18/1 [2004], p.112-113), you cannot speak of the Misnahusing the MT, which 
did not exist in the 2nd century CE. At that time you have pre-masoretic 
texts and the differerence involves more than vocalisation 
-non-vocalisation. What manusscript of the Mishnah is your edition based 
on?. Ingrid
