Dear Ted,

While the BHS does not have the holam, the Mosad Harav-Kook prints, based on
Brauer's reading of the Aleppo Codex do. I'm sure that there are people here
who will give you a fuller explanation.

One question I have for the list is: What happened to the holem? Both  Adon
ai and Elohim have medial vav-holem. The common understanding of the  
transliteration Jehovah is the the "o" is derived from that medial  holem.
It 
seems that I have seen YHWH written with the holem in the MT,  but a cursory

look did not find one. Can anyone explain this?
 
Thanks,
Ted Brownstein
