Segôltā (seven times altogether) when this would stand at the head of the sentence; cf. Gn 1916, &c.

4 a. (־֕) זָקֵף גָּדוֹל Zâqēph gādôl, and

4 b. (־֔) זָקֵף קָטוֹן Zâqēph qāṭôn. The names refer to their musical character. As a disjunctive, Little Zâqēph is by nature stronger than Great Zâqēph; but if they stand together, the one which comes first is always the stronger.

5. (־֖) טִפְחָא Ṭiphḥā or טַרְחָא Ṭarḥā, a subordinate disjunctive before Sillûq and ʾAthnâḥ, but very often the principal disjunctive of the whole verse instead of ʾAthnâḥ; always so when the verse consists of only two or three words (e.g. Is 213), but also in longer verses (Gn 321).

6. (־ׄ) רְבִיעַ Rebhîaʿ.

7. (־֮) זַרְקָא Zarqā, postpositive.

8 a. (־֙) פַּשְׁטָא Pašṭā, postpositive,[1] and

8 b. (־֚) יְתִיב Yethîbh, prepositive, and thus different from Mehuppākh. Yethîbh is used in place of Pašṭā when the latter would stand on a monosyllable or on a foretoned word, not preceded by a conjunctive accent.

9. (־֛) תְּבִיר Tebhîr.

10 a. (־֜) גֶּרֶשׁ Gèreš or טֶרֶס Ṭères, and

10 b. (־֞) גְּרָשַׁ֫יִם Gerāšáyim[2] or Double Gèreš, used for Gèreš, when the tone rests on the ultima, and ʾAzlā does not precede.

11 a. (־֡) פָּזֵר Pâzēr, and

11 b. (־֟) פָּזֵר גָּדוֹל Pâzēr gādôl (Great Pâzēr) or קַרְנֵי פָרָה Qarnê phārā (cow-horns), only used 16 times, for special emphasis.

12. (־֠) תְּלִישָׁא גְדוֹלָה Teliša gedôlā or Great Teliša, prepositive.

13. (־֣) לְגַרְמֶהּ Legarmēh, i.e. Mûnaḥ (see below) with a following stroke.

  1. If the word in question has the tone on the penultima, Pašṭā is placed over it also, e.g תֹ֨הוּ֨ Gn 12; cf. below, l
  2. Wickes requires Geršáyim (גֵּרְשַׁיִם).
