<div dir="auto">I'm having trouble with the clause "The Masoretic text does not follow our rules of Diqduq". If I'm reading it correctly, then either the Masoretic text is wrong, or our rules of Diqduq are wrong. Which?</div>

<div>Hash'chutah is written AFAICT with the 3 dot "Qubutz" as opposed to the Shuruq with a vav</div>

<div>The Teis has no dagesh Hazzaq.</div>

</div>
<div>What is the best explanation for the lack ofbacdagesh in the Teis.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. We simply don't know</div>
<div>2. Since shechuta usually has A Shuruq (vav) we read it as if it were there. </div>
<div>3. Since The Masoretic text does not follow our rules of Diqduq, there is no reason to expect a dagesh in that Tes </div>
<div>4. Other?</div>
