to warn against the moving of an U from the end of a word to thebeginning of the next.
1. ?????? ?????? ???????? ??????, Exodus 12:31, to prevent the readingQUM UC)U.
2. ?????? ?????? ????????? ???-????? ???????, Deuteronomy 2:24, toprevent the reading QUM US(U.

First, every time you embed Hebrew I get question marks.
Second, if you already mention QUMU C)U in Exodus,

On this expression MINHAT SHAI remarks that there are 5 similar
dageshes after ) H W Y.
Yaakov (J) Stein
