In the BHS text Y:HOWFH and HOWFH have the same "he-holem-vav-qamets"
sequence,
but in HOWFH at Isaiah 47:11 and Ezekiel 7:26 [two places]
the holem is shown over the he.
while in Y:HOWFH at Genesis 9:26,
the holem is shown over the vav.

However in the handwritten Leningrad Codex,
at Ezekiel 7:26 [two places]
and at Genesis 9:26
the holem is centered between the top left of the he and the top right of
the vav.

>>>
Does anyone see a grammatical reason for holam over he?
Might it not be a holam intended for waw?
The last suggestion isn't plausible, but I see no other.
There are indeed a few he-holams in WLC.

VADIM: it is assumed that English has future tense.

SB: Of course English has future tense; it is not grammatical, however,
but lexical. English utterances have tense but English *verbs* do not.
Each English verb has a form which *may* express past tense, but even
this form also serves for certain modal uses. The only exception I can
think of is the verb "be" which has different forms for past and
conditional.
