Now, if you say the Radaq's rules contradict those, at least then we'rebe grappling with two of the same kind.Tir'u baTov!-Micha"I've heard that the Qimchi rules differ from the Rules of the MasoretesI'm seeking a list specifying their points of departureI use Qimchi because AIUI this was a family edeavor.RRW

If I'm reading it correctly, then either the Masoretic: text is wrong, or our rules of Diqduq are wrong. Which?I am not clear on the comparison. The mesoretic text contains examples,not rules.And every rule for a language has exceptions. Add to that a text designedwith intentional oddities to support derashos (and, according to theRaavad, even asmachatos) and you will have a lot of exceptions.So, the question is whether the various "our rules of Diqduq", or togo back to where we started, the Radaq's rules of diqduq, are foundconsistently enough to be considered rules, where exceptions should beconsidered noteworthy.But I feel like we just started comparing apples and battle hymns.The nearest I would think we have to mesoretic rules of diqduq is "SeferDiqduqei HaT'amim, which is attributed to R. Aharon ben Asher himself",as RSM described it on this list in Apr 2001. At the time, he sharedAharon Dotan's edition, which is still available at<http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/faxes/dikdukeiHaTeamim.pdf>(Except for the last page, which RSM included as proof of age, and justfor aesthetic reasons.)Now, if you say the Radaq's rules contradict those, at least then we'rebe grappling with two of the same kind.Tir'u baTov!-Micha-- Micha Berger             Man can aspire to spiritual-moral greatnessmicha at aishdas.org        which is seldom fully achieved and easily losthttp://www.aishdas.org   again.
