After reading it, no verdict changed. The report confirms the quotation-mark gap (its point G), which matches the Reviewer's independent chapter-level finding, and it states that 22:19 and the tzeva entry depend on founder decision B, which supports the revise on that entry's rationale. The report's spot-check items were reviewed: NJPS 'became rigid' (13:4) agrees with the Reviewer's recollection; the 2:5 LXX first-person suffixes and the 2:29 LXX plus are plausible and described with appropriate hedging. The Lucianic attribution at 2:28 remains a non-blocking query.","founderDecisionRecommendations":{"A-proper-names":"Retain transliteration with long-form normalization of the MT short forms (Adoniyahu, Tzidqiyahu), tz for tsade and English '-ite' gentilics. This is the rule already in force in the wave-A overlay and approved by the wave-A Reviewer. Following the brief's 'keep each verse's form' would have made the chapters cite an entry that says the opposite. The choice is mechanically reversible. As wave A recommended, add the English form to chapter titles for discoverability.","B-ruach-22:21-24":"Keep as drafted: 'the ruach' (article kept), 'a lying ruach', 'the ruach of YHWH'. The v 24 retort depends on the noun staying visible, the article has standing (JPS 1917; b. Sanh. 89a; GKC §126q), and the entry is honestly inferred. If the founder prefers conventional English, use lower-case 'spirit' consistently at 21-24 (with the article recorded in the note); do not split 'spirit' (21-23) from 'ruach' (24).","C-heavens-22:19":"Adopt 'the host of the heavens'. It is consistent with the wave-A Reviewer's decision-B recommendation ('heavens' for divine-realm šāmayim, 'skies' for weather and fire), the corpus precedent at GEN-WOH-28:12, and the canon French 'l'armée des cieux'. If decision B goes to 'skies' everywhere, revert 22:19, the chapter-22 title and the tzeva entry together.","D-shofar":"Adopt 'shofar'. It is lexically exact, it keeps šôp̄ār apart from ḥăṣōṣərâ (2 Kgs 11:14), and it matches exodus-woh. Promote to central when a third book applies it.","E-the-qadesh":"Adopt 'the qadesh'. It is what the central qedeshah entry requires, and it removes the anachronistic 'sodomites'. The stiffness of the collective singular is the lesser cost, since 'qedeshim' is not in the text and 'consecrated men' over-resolves. Amend the central wohChoice to name the masculine form (see glossaryReview).","F-with-all-their-being":"Adopt 'with all their heart and with all their being' (HALOT; Wolff; Alter at Deut 6:5), and use the same pair at 1 Kgs 8:48 and 2 Kgs 23:3, 25.","G-quotation-marks":"Adopt quotation marks book-wide in wave-A style before wave B is signed off.
