Following up with one more example, Moses Buttenwieser was Professor
Emeritus of Biblical Exegesis at Hebrew Union College when KTAV published
_The Psalms
chronologically treated with a new translation by Moses Buttenwieser.
Prolegomenon by Nahum M. Sarna._ in 1969.

Buttenwieser reads "ka'aru" and translates Psalm 22:17c as, "They MANGLE my
hands and feet."

On p. 605 he writes:

"17c. They mangle] Read, with many MSS and the Versions, [ka'aru spelled out
in Hebrew] - a spelling of middle waw verbs which occurs several times; its
meaning "to mangle" or "to lacerate" follows not only from the context but
also from what has been borne out by the fact that Arab. kara denotes in the
second conjugation "to throw one down in a heap" and "to prostrate one," and
in
the fourth "to have one crippled."
