Reading a scroll line
- [ אבג ]
- Grey, in brackets: letters the editor supplied. Where a lacuna runs
over three words or more, only its first and last word are set; the
words between keep their width but are left blank, so the size of the
gap stays visible.
- א̇
- A dot above the letter: the reading is identified but uncertain.
- °
- A letter surviving only as illegible traces.
- .
- A lost letter inside a lacuna.
Everything else in a manuscript line is extant text. The verse-final
׃ is not printed there, and the scroll lines are
consonantal throughout. Sigla are those of the ETCBC dataset.
Hover over any word, in either text, for its lexeme and morphology; on a
touch screen, tap it. A word underlined with dots carries a qere, and the
card gives the form to be read.
