[Mesorah] two questions

[Michael Poppers]

RMH asked:
> In Noach, the word "ale-zayis" (8:11) has the following note in the
little m'sora: "6 b'atrophy".  What does this mean, please? <
If you mean, "What does 'zayin b'trophe' mean?" I thought it referred to
the ta'am being associated w/ the zayin in "alei-zayis," but maybe it's
referring to one of seven instances of something-or-other?

All the best from
