<div dir="ltr">A few clarifications: <div>The root of shatu (STU) is shin-vav-tet (SUT), like "taru" (TUR), not STU (shin-tet-vav). So the past/perfect tense would normally be mil'eil, which is why this instance, which is mil'ra, is unusual (hence Minchat Shai's comment). </div><div><br></div><div>The authoritative version of the Torah is the Keter Aram Soba, which is supposed to be produced by Ben Asher himself, one of the greatest of the ba'alei mesorah. You can access it online at <a href="http://www.aleppocodex.org/homepage.html">http://www.aleppocodex.org/homepage.html</a>. There are several printed Tanach's that use this text: The original Breuer edition published by Mossad Harav Kook, the Simanim version of Tanach (although not, for some reason, their tikkun, even though it is an excellent tikkun), the Torat Chaim mikraot gedolot published by Mossad Harav Kook, and the Hebrew University Keter Tanach. (Recent versions of the Simanim tikkun make a note where the Keter is different from other versions in their notes on the side.)</div><div><br></div><div>And since I seem often to be in the position of defending the beleaguered Ashkenazi pronunciation: Most of the rules for shva na/nach are sort of like the rule in English against splitting infinitives: Arbitrary, artificial, and unhelpful. Klal zeh n'kot beyadach: The sheva is intended to make pronunciation <i>easier</i>, not more difficult. People naturally put sheva's in between two identical letters and in some other instances, but certainly not following tenuot gedolot. And for those of us who do not geminate our consonants (which is nearly everyone of Ashkenazic persuasion), there seems to me little reason to insist on a sheva na in that case also.</div><div><br></div><div>Kol tuv</div><div><br></div><div>Ben </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-07-01 17:02 GMT-04:00 Jeremy Rosenbaum Simon via Mesorah <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mesorah@lists.aishdas.org" target="_blank">mesorah@lists.aishdas.org</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">This sefer is included in at least some of the large editions of the Tikkun Simanim.<div>Jeremy</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 1, 2015 at 2:00 PM, Micha Berger via Mesorah <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mesorah@lists.aishdas.org" target="_blank">mesorah@lists.aishdas.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Wed, Jul 01, 2015 at 01:04:07PM -0400, Toby Katz via Mesorah wrote:<br>

The rebbe a few of my sons had for pre-1a is a friend of mine. Some<br>
20 years ago or so, when I attended his pre-year overview of the<br>
syllabus. Which begins with "qamatz alef - a" and ends with sheva<br>
na / nach.<br>
<br>
After is was over, I took him aside and said, if you want the boys to<br>
actually use what you're teaching, it would pay to call the subject<br>
"qeri'ah".<br>
<br>
Similarly, I bet you the seifer your brother is looking for is "Mesoras<br>
haQeriah" -- the quf is degushah, so the sheva is na.<br>
