I have noticed something quite strange.

On page 326R of the LC it has that the 11th seder of Kings is 12:24 with the text <KY KH )MR YY>, but in the text itself on page 194R (as in other books) is <KH )MR YY>. So for some reason the ML (Masoretic List) is adding the word <KY> to the text!

Now there are other places where the ML adds a letter, such as adding a <W> - making a defective holem into a full holem. But this is another thing all together adding an entire word.

If you also will notice in the text that the scribe marked with as the 10th (making to 10ths), and then you have no break 32 in the ML marked at all. Since a picture/chart is worth a thousand words, here is a chart showing what I mean:

Anyone have any info on this weirdness?
