[Mesorah] Nusach Ashkenaz - Long Tachanun

[M. Hamm]

R'Robert Miller:
<<After nefilas apayim on Mon/Thurs, the inserted piyut in ArtScroll
editions says "mekavoh" (komatz) and not "mekaveh" (segol) like all
other siddurim.  Do you know why ArtScroll does this and why the others
do not?>>

M'kava rhymes.  M'kave agrees with its subject for gender.  Why each
sidur chooses what it does I have no idea, and I hope others on the
list can address that.
