Segôltā (seven times altogether) when this would stand at the head of the sentence; cf. Gn 19, &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 2), but also in longer verses (Gn 3).

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 1; cf. below, l
  2. Wickes requires Geršáyim (גֵּרְשַׁיִם).
