BHS SESB - Ruth 1:8

Can anyone tell me what's up with the BHS SESB text pictured below in Ruth 1:8?

In the print BHS I see that יעש is in the right margin, but not יעשה . I don't know what יעש in the right margin of the print BHS is telling me either, but perhaps that is a question for another forum.

I have tried to reproduce your screen display, but I can't. My text displays normally with the a link. When I hover over the link with my Information panel open. An explanation appears

If you are wondering about the display then the two forms below the main verbs are Kethiv-Qere. ie. It is written(kethiv) in text in the upper form, but it is read (qere) as though it was written in the lower form. That is the significance of the qoph below the stem in the margin of the print edition.

Unfortunately the preface to BHS SESB does not seem to have an explanation but BHS with Westminster Morphology does:

Both
the kətı̂b (K) and qərēʾ (Q) readings as given in
the Westminster database are reconstructions. In L (and BHS), the Q form
generally appears in the margins without pointing, and the K form generally
appears in the text with the vowels of the corresponding Q reading — it is in a
sense not a real word, but a “hybrid” form consisting of the marriage of the
vowels of Q with the consonants of K. (Biblia
Hebraica Stuttgartensia : With Westminster Hebrew Morphology. (electronic ed.;
Stuttgart; Glenside PA: German Bible Society; Westminster Seminary, 1996).

Hope that helps.

I don't have this resource but try clicking on the display button at the top of the pane. It will probably have check marks against Kethiv-Qere if you uncheck them these should disappear. (If this doesn't work, I don't know how to get rid of them)

Now I know why I couldn't reproduce the display! I don't have a display button in Logos 4 Mac. [:(]

Thanks to you both!

The issue was related to "Display". I unchecked Ketib-Qere and it went away.

The forums have been really helpful for me lately
