[Heb-NACO] Tekafo vs. Tokpo: round 2

[Jay Rovner]

Check out the phrase and its source in a Talmudic sugya in, e.g., Hebrew Wikipedia, where it is clear that the verbal construction is tekafo

Folks:

I have a book here by Shabtai ben Meir, ha-Kohen, 1621-1662 where the first word in the title is tav-kuf-peh-vav.  The last time this book came up, about ten years ago (maybe longer), the decree was that the form we were to use was "tekafo" in this particular instance.

Anyhow, I checked in the 2007 EJ, Lo and behold, they cite the book as "Tokfo kohen." Discounting the "f" (Ester 10:2 places a dagesh in the peh), it looks to me like this is an authoritative  stance that we didn't have the last time the question was asked.

So: tekafo or tokpo?

Bob
