[Mesorah] kodashim

[Michael Poppers]

> A baal k'ria recently told me that kadashim/kodashim has a kamatz gadol
(rachav) at its start, but hakodashim has a kamatz katan.  Is this
correct?  I always thought each had a kamatz katan. <
AFAIK, there is a machloqes hadaqdaqanim if a qamatz in an open syllable
ahead of a chataf-qamatz is a QQ or a QG.

> (And why would the
prefixed he make a difference?) <
Offhand, I don't see why any additional syllable(s) ahead of the open
syllable in question would, ceteris paribus, make a difference.

All the best from
