So the Leningrad's spelling the Tetragrammaton without it, picked up by BHS,
seems to be unique.
Gertoux's book posted here by Alexander Oldernes on 18th July this year:
The situation is identical for other codices. The most frequent error is the transformation e, a into e, o, a, thus the changing of the form YeHWaH into YeHoWaH, which one finds in the Aleppo codex (Ezk 3:13; etc.) and in the Or4445 codex (Ex 16:7; 40:29; etc.) These errors are very old and can be observed on reproductions of biblical fragments (P. Kahle - Masoreten des Westens Stuttgart 1927 Ed. V.V.W. Kohlhammer p. 17/1 sheet 930 p.19/3 sheet 946 p.24/8 sheet 1017) dated between 700 and 900. ...Whatever we might think of the characterisation as "errors", this makes
it very clear that the regular pointing in the Aleppo codex is
sheva-qamats, but that sheva-holam-qamats is found occasionally e.g. at
Ezekiel 3:13.
