Shemot 25:16 — v'natata el ha-aron et ha-edut asher eten elekha.
The edut placed in the aron must be complete. The Masoretic
tradition preserves every letter, every enlarged letter, every
ketiv/qere pair — because each carries meaning the scribe cannot
reconstruct.
The previous build_l1.py silently dropped:
- enlarged letters encoded as <seg type="x-large"> nested in <w>
→ the Shema was corrupt: שמ instead of שמע, אח instead of אחד
→ the middle letter of Torah was corrupt: גח instead of גחון
→ the Zelophchad nun was missing: משפט instead of משפטן
- ketiv/qere dual readings encoded as <note type="variant">/<rdg type="x-qere">
→ the spec committed to preserving both; the code returned []
- smikhut (construct state) pairs marked in morphology codes
→ the spec committed to extracting them; the code returned []
Fixes:
- collect_word_text() walks all nested <seg> children of <w> and records
large_letters / small_letters metadata with character offsets.
- parse_verse() recognizes <w type="x-ketiv"> followed by <note>, extracts
both the ketiv and the qere readings, stores a ketiv_qere list on the verse.
- _extract_smikhut() scans words for construct-state morph codes
(ending in "c" on N/A primary segments, excluding pronominal suffixes)
and records construct/absolute pairs.
- L1 SHA-256 hash updated everywhere: integrity.sha256, l1_reader.ex,
shoresh-engine's Luchot.Firmware, its test, KOHEN.md.
Torah-wide results after fix:
- 4 enlarged letters preserved (was 0): Shema ayin, Shema dalet,
gachon vav (middle of Torah), Zelophchad nun
- 67 ketiv/qere pairs captured (was 0)
- 9,203 smikhut pairs extracted (was 0)
Elixir updates:
- l1_reader.ex: normalize_verse now surfaces ketiv_qere, smikhut,
and per-word large_letters/small_letters. New type specs. New
extract_large_letters/1 helper. extract_ketiv_qere and
extract_smikhut now return real data instead of [].
- step31_shema_test.exs: replaced placeholder asserts with real
integrity checks. Four new tests verify the Shema word is complete
(שמע not שמ), echad is complete (אחד not אח), the enlarged
letters are marked, the middle letter of Torah is preserved,
and ketiv/qere pairs from Bereishit 8:17 are both captured.
Build script:
- build_l1.py no longer rmtrees the entire l1/ directory (preserves
l1/README.md). Only regenerates torah/ + build_report.json +
integrity.sha256.
- Accepts SHORASHIM_SOURCE_DATA env var or CLI arg for morphhb path.
Test counts:
- Elixir: 260 (was 254), 0 failures
- Haskell: 33, 0 failures
- Prolog: 195, 0 failures
The system that can hear שמע correctly has passed its own shema test.

Three connections built and tested:
- Haskell Shoresh Engine via Erlang Port (JSON lines over stdin/stdout)
- Prolog Talmudic Engine via Unix domain socket (JSON over /tmp/shorashim/talmudic.sock)
- Erlang Sanhedrin via native BEAM calls
New: Server.hs (JSON-line server loop), json_bridge.pl + socket_server.pl
(Prolog socket interface), ShoreshEnginePort + TalmudicEngineSocket +
SanhedrinClient (Elixir GenServer wrappers). BereishitCycle now routes
unresolved cases through Talmudic Engine and Sanhedrin. All connections
gracefully degrade — pipeline falls back to L1 data when engines unavailable.
46 Elixir tests, 33 Haskell tests, 57 Prolog tests — 0 failures.
