From the Hebrew Bible Manuscript documentation:"Aphtarot: The manuscript description indicates the manuscript includes the Aftarot." I can't find a definition in my resources or on google for aftarot. Help!
Could it be haftarot?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haftarah
"The haftarot are an ancient part of Hebrew liturgy. These supplemental readings are excerpted from the Prophets (Nevi’im) and accompany each weekly Sabbath reading from the Torah as well as readings for special Sabbaths and festivals."
Thanks Jimmy. I didn't know enough Hebrew to add the "h". I suspect that might be a problem to other users as well.
Yes. Using transliteration leads to those types of problems. -ah is the feminine singular and -ot is the plural ending for some Hebrew nouns.
It was the missing "h" at the beginning that threw me and kept me from finding any dictionary entries.

In other words, there's a typo in the resource.
