[Mesorah] Pausal form In Mishnah

[R. Rich Wolpoe]

« All vocalized Ashk'naz mss i have seen have haggefen, so there is no question that that is original nusach Ashk'naz. »

Could be

But see eizor eliyahu

All those who have hageffen also have Oved and Gover which I have been kvetching for many years. And guess what? Eizor Eliyahu says "tzarich Iyyun". Hmmm I'm not surprised

So if you're gonna say hageffen fine. But then say eved and gever

But IIRC the Arizal or another m'kubbal has a drashah on the 6 dots in geffen.

Since many of the revisionists I know like hageffen, and  afaik are not kabbalists, I simply call on them to revise themselves consistently or leave hagaffen as is mimah nafshach.


Shalom and Regards, RRW
