Corruption in the ETCBC Hebrew text (that remains unaddressed for many months)
There are numerous places where there is an additional letter that is suffixed on to a word in the ETCBC text that does not belong there. The letter displays, but is not quite there i.e. when you move the cursor over it, it cannot be selected. I have been reporting instance after instance to corrections for a while now but have not seen any new releases to ETCBC that addresses these issues.
Examples:
“הַה֔וּאשׂ”
Zech. 6:10, MT-ETCBC-A v2.5
https://accordancebible.com/link/read/MT-ETCBC-A#Zech._6:10
Comments: The שׂ at the end of הַה֔וּאשׂ is an error. It should read:
וּבָ֯אתָ֤ אַתָּה֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא
========
“אֵ֙לֶּה֙שׂ”
Zech. 2:4, MT-ETCBC-A v2.5
https://accordance.bible/link/read/MT-ETCBC-A#Zech._2:4
Comments:
The suffixed שׂ does not belong in the text.
========
“רֹאשׁ֔וֹב”
Zech. 2:4, MT-ETCBC-A v2.5
https://accordance.bible/link/read/MT-ETCBC-A#Zech._2:4
Comments: Here is another example where a בis suffixed on a word where it does not belong.
============
“וַֽיַּעֲנ֞וּב”
Zech. 1:11, MT-ETCBC-A v2.5
https://accordance.bible/link/read/MT-ETCBC-A#Zech._1:11
Comments: The ב at the end of this word does not belong there.
This is the text from BHQ (without the ב)
וַֽיַּעֲנ֞וּ אֶת־מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֗ה
Note the suffix בseems to appear incorrectly in a number of places in this text.
Here is another example that I have already reported
”וְה֣וּא עֹמֵ֔ד בֵּ֥ין הַהֲדַסִּ֖יםב“
(Zechariah 1:8 Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia with ETCBC Morphology and Apparatus)
===============
“בְּגָדִ֔יםשׂ”
Zech. 3:5, MT-ETCBC-A v2.5
https://accordancebible.com/link/read/MT-ETCBC-A#Zech._3:5
Comments: Should be “בְּגָדִ֔ים”
================
“הַיּוֹצֵ֔אתב”
Zech. 5:6, MT-ETCBC-A v2.5
https://accordancebible.com/link/read/MT-ETCBC-A#Zech._5:6
Comments: The ב does not belong on the end of the word

I notice the other Hebrew texts do not have these errors; I also notice Accordance does not seem to be doing any more corrections in language texts. I have been waiting years for the Holmstedt syntax tree to be completed
