Question

Why is Issachar not considered Kri and Ktiv, since only one 'sh' is heard when reading?

Answer

Kri and Ktiv means that the reading does not match the written text, and there is a tradition to read the word differently from how it is written. However, a letter that is not heard according to grammatical rules is not included in Kri and Ktiv.
