Credit to Dr. Chris Dost for the inspiration for this workspace. During one of his videos demonstrating the textual criticism of Amos 1:2, we find this word at the beginning of the verse וַיֹּא֯מַ֓ר in the text of the BHQ and a note referring to the Masora Parva in the apparatus:

2. We also see it referred to in the Masora of the Leningrad Codex:

3. Checking the Masora Thesaurus, we see two of the seven examples of this in Leviticus 8:23 and Ezra 5:15:

So, how do we find these seven examples in Accordance?

4. Using this search helps us to weed out the false hits to find the seven examples of a šalšeleṯ over the first word of a verse:

After weeding out the false hits we find: Genesis 19:16; 24:12; 39:8; Leviticus 8:23; Isaiah 13:8; Amos 1:2; and Ezra 5:15 are our examples. Accordance makes this kind of research very easy and rewarding! Hope this helps!
