In Parshat צו, Chapter 6, verse 2 the מ in מוֹקְדָ֨ה is small according to Minchas Shai. Why is the מ in מוֹקְדָ֨ה small?

It's not small... (Compare with Vayikra which has the small Alef.) – Double AA♦ Mar 24 '19 at 12:10

I’ve checked three different Chumashim, including a Tikkun, in addition to the one DoubleAA cites. The only one who says that this מ is small is Minchas Shai; nobody else seems to say that this should be a small מ. – DonielF Mar 24 '19 at 15:08
The Oznaim Latorah explains that mokdah was the largest fire in the altar services. The small 'Mem' then came to teach us that everything great should demonstrate humility.
See several other reasons here.
