Vikaftor Tachas Shnei Hakanim Mimenah
From an old Sefer Torah I was fixing something in.
No, it's not a typo, it's just an interesting way of writing these repeating words.
Very nice - thanks for posting. I have seen this in Sifrey I have checked too. In fact there are several interesting 'layouts' around the 'ervat' section, 'arur' section and other places that are no longer in the standard tikkun which I think is a bit of a shame. Though of course it does often involve stretching letters a fair amount which whilst fine is often frowned upon (e.g. Rambam who wasn't happy with vavey ha-amudim sifrey when they first came along because sofrim often stretched letters to much to accommodate it).

ReplyDeleteI have a hard enough time not repeating those words too many times during leining as it is. To use amazon parlance, novelty value -- would not read.
