Clear has started comparing OSHB morphology to other analyses as we build Clear Syntax Trees. Joel Ruark and Randall Tan have discussed the cases that have arisen, and make the following suggestions. I will issue a pull request that contains these corrections, so that they can be discussed individually there.

Implied article:
On the one hand, if the noun begins with a guttural with a hatep vowel, the preposition takes the corresponding full vowel.
On the other hand, before heh and ḥet that are not qamats-pointed – the definite article remains pointed with a pataḥ without “compensation for a” dagesh
Currently thinking that the following forms are ambiguous & would depend on context
OSHB should omit implicit article (if left unexplained, reason is patah vowel already explained by if the noun begins with a guttural with a hatep vowel, the preposition takes the corresponding full vowel)
ex16:1 בַּחֲמִשָּׁ֨ה OSHB should change Rd to R
ex20:6 לַאֲלָפִ֑ים OSHB should change Rd to R (guttural with a hatep vowel, the preposition takes the corresponding full vowel; with an aleph, should have qames rather than patah)
ex24:10 לָטֹֽהַר׃ OSHB should change Rd to R I think what is happening is: When the inseparable preposition is attached immediately before the tone syllable (i.e., the accented syllable) of a word in pause, the pointing under the preposition is sometimes lengthened to a qamets
ex27:18 בַּחֲמִשִּׁ֗ים OSHB should change Rd to R
ex32:27 לָשַׁ֨עַר֙ OSHB should change Rd to R--don't have explanation for qames vowel, though I would have expected "from gate to gate" to have both gates without article

OTHER ERRORS IN OSHB

David, thanks for interacting on these cases. Sorry for the delay in responding.

Ezr.4.2 I think OSHB is in error with morph="HRd/Pp2mp" id="15Qq3">כָ/כֶ֔םid="15Qq3">כָ/כֶ֔ם. First, the pronominal suffix Sp is mistagged as a personal pronoun. My full proposed correction is morph="HR/Sp2mp" The only difference with ETCBC Rd/Sp2mp is regarding the definite article. I don't think that the pronominal suffix with a prefixed preposition takes a definite article (the qames is explained by strong vocalisation with heavy suffixes as Joüon §103c notes.

Ezr.4.3 I think OSHB is in error with morph="HC/Rd/Pp1cp" id="151bY">וָ/לָ֔/נוּ. The same problems and reasoning for Ezr.4.2 apply here as well. My full proposed correction is morph="HC/R/Sp1cp" The only difference with ETCBC C/Rd/Sp1bp is regarding the definite article. Again, I don't think that the pronominal suffix with a prefixed preposition takes a definite article.

Psa.68.19 I think OSHB is in error with morph="HTd/Ncmsa" id="19TcE">לַ/מָּר֨וֹם. The preposition is mistagged as a particle. My full proposed correction is morph="HRd/Ncmsa". This is in agreement with STEPBible (& only different from ETCBC in terms of gender being masculine rather than both).

Exo.9.11 OSHB currectly doesn't see the implied definite article. The form is ambiguous (per Joüon §35e), but I think the context favors the article being present. My full proposed correction is morph="HRd/Ncmpa" for id="029g8">בַּֽ/חֲרְטֻמִּ֖ם. This is in agreement with ETCBC Rd/Ncmpa.

Psa.139.12 OSHB currently doesn't see the implied definite article. The form is ambiguous (per Joüon §35e), but I think the context might slightly favor (debatable) the article being present. My full proposed correction is morph="HRd/Ncfsa" for id="19KRL">כַּ֝/חֲשֵׁיכָ֗ה. This is in agreement with ETCBC Rd/Ncfsa.

Zec.7.5 OSHB currently doesn't see the implied definite article. The form is ambiguous (per Joüon §35e), but I think the context and usage elsewhere in this exact construction might slightly favor (debatable) the article being present. My full proposed correction is morph="HRd/Aomsa" for id="38V8j">בַּ/חֲמִישִׁ֣י. This is in agreement with STEPBible Rd/Aomsa (& only different from ETCBC in terms of gender being masculine rather than both).

Lev.27.33 Non-pausal forms without the article have the shewa לְרַ֥ע in Jer 7:6, Ecc 8:9. Pausal forms without the article have the shewa in 2 Sam. 19:36 & 1 Kings 3:9 לְרָ֑ע. Isaiah 5:20 has explicit alternation of definite article to none in לָרַ֛ע ט֖וֹב וְלַטּ֣וֹב רָ֑ע. So, I conclude that qames for לָרַ֖ע indicates the presence of a definite article. My full proposed correction is morph="HRd/Aamsa" for id="03gzn">לָ/רַ֖ע. The only difference with STEPBible R/Aamsa is regarding the definite article (& a further difference with ETCBC is in terms of gender being masculine rather than both).
