[Mesorah] Katonti

[Noah Witty]

In shul this morning, the ba'al korei read this word at the beginning of 
Parashas Va-yishlach with a rivi'i.  I've never seen it printed as 
anything other than a an azla gai-raish (did I get that right?).  Says 
he has a mesorah from the person who taught him how to lain.

What say you wise Mesorah List members?  And if there be such an 
alternate reading, what is the significance and/or meaning of the 
dispute (nekudas hamachlokes)?
