[Mesorah] Pausal form In Mishnah

[Elazar M. Teitz]

     Is it clear that "yachloku" is a pausal form for Chazal?  In the printed Shas, it appears in the middle of a statement, in the Mishna Yevamos 38a. EMT

I didn't say that we can learn nothing from the texts, although how we do so is beyond my competence. I just said that seeing a single letter in a printed text is not sufficient to base any conclusions on.

This may be true, but unlike Tanach, the mesorah of the text of mishna is not well fixed. So you can't be m'dayek as easily in a given letter.

So how can we ever know that l'shon Hazal did not have Pausals - EG gofen?

We can know leisheiv instead of losheves, but what else can we say for sure?


Shalom and Regards, RRW
