These marks happen all over the place in the LC. They occur when the last word of a line quite doesn't make it to the edge of the column. I assume their purpose is insure that one doesn't think that its a paragraph break. But there are different glyphs used, and I am wondering what the meaning of these glyphs are.

I re-posted and rephrased my question as you have suggested.

Dear Mr. Steven,

I see what you're talking about around Gen 3:3. My GUESS is that they refer to Masoretic notes. I have "The Masorah of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia:Introduction and Annotated Glossary" Kelly, Mynatt and Crawford on hand, but don't immediately see this type of note.

Someone else on the b-hebrew list must know. I suggest that you emphasize that these are in the photocopies and that they occur near Gen 3:3.

I'm interested in learning the answer.

Yours,

Chris
