Perhaps Jerome wanted to reinforce the idea of the husband dominating (the last clause of 
Genesis 3:16) when he translated (mistranslated?) the previous clause "your desire/turning 
shall be to your husband" as "and thou shalt be under thy husband's power.."
 
Anyway: Does anybody here (Calling Randall Buth) have any idea why t'shuqah was 
translated with APOSTROFH as well as why Jerome seemed to radically change the 
meaning/translation of the clause?
