"versionNotes": "<i>Miqra According to the Masorah</i> (MAM) is a digital Hebrew edition of the Tanakh based on the Aleppo Codex and related manuscripts. It is designed for readers, and as such it contains added elements to aid vocalization of the text. For instance: When an accent is marked in an unstressed syllable, an extra accent is added in the proper place (<i>pashta</i>, <i>zarqa</i>, <i>segol</i>, <i>telisha</i>). <i>Legarmeih</i> and <i>paseq</i> are visibly distinguished. <i>Qamaz qatan</i> is indicated by its designated Unicode character (alternatives are documented where traditions differ about its application).<br>The text of MAM is fully documented.
