image of a sheep in a coat of arms next to a hole in the parchment
'The lamb is among all beasts the most sweet and innocent...It hurts no man with teeth, nails or horns and all that comes of him is good and profitable...'
Surely the scribe was considering the parchment of that very folio - made more noticeable by the hole - as he wrote this... [Harley 6149].

Biblical Hebrew spelling doesn't mark vowel length; not consistently. So, many scholars simply think it didn't exist anymore in Tiberian. BUTβ¦
