I do those because there are people in the tzibbur who expect them, and I realize that there are different views on changing minhagim based on newly discovered evidence, but I think that adding more double readings is a bit much. If you're already going to do nezek/neizek, there are plenty of kamatz/patach variants, too.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">For anybody interested in these sorts of variants (mostly in nikkud and te'amim), the תורת הקורא has this sort of apparatus (covering many manuscripts and the most influential printed editions) on every parasha.

First—חג פורים שמח!<br>

In talking about the מגילה with someone today, he mentioned that the reader read the word נזק twice once with a צירה on the נון and once with a סגול. Breuer’s texts and sources (Leningrad Codex) clearly have only צירה. However, the רד”ק in ספר השורשים says clearly שש נקודות, and קורן seems to follow that.<br>
<br>
Has anyone seen or heard of this before? Does anyone have a copy of one of the influential printings (e.g., Leteris, Heidenheim) that have a סגול?<br>
