How do we write "petzuang daka(h)" in Devorim 23:2 now?

In older Ashkenazi seforim, the word dakah is spelled דכה, with a ה, whereas in Sephardi seforim, as well as the Mesauroh of the Keter Aram Soba, the spelling used is דכא, with an א (see Mesauroh to Tehillim 90:3 in the Aleppo Codex).

Most modern tikkunim and chumashim use א, although Koren, which largely follows R' Wolf Heidenheim's Tanach, uses a ה.
