symbol

Legarmeh comes in two versions. Asla Legarmeh has two parts and consists of the symbol of Kadma ֨ and the vertical line Paseq ׀. Mahpach Legarmeh also has two parts and consists of the symbol of Mahpach ֤ and the vertical line Pasek ׀. Pasek always appears as an addition at the end of the word.

grammar

Legarmeh is a weak disjunctive accent of the lowest level in both forms and can no longer have any subsequent separators. The difference between the two signs is primarily musical. If Legarmeh is preceded by a disjunctive sign, Azla legarmeh is used, if there is no conjunction and the sound falls on the first or second syllable, Mahpach is used legarmeh. However, if the tone falls on the third or a subsequent syllable, it is Azla legarmeh. A Legarmeh that appears between Rewia Mugrasch and before Silluq is always a Mahpach legarmeh.

Mahpach legarmeh cannot have conjunctions. Azla legarmeh can have a single preceding conjunctive sign, mostly a mahpach, a zinnorite mahpach, or less often an illuj or mercha.

Occurrence

Mahpach legarmeh and Asla legarmeh belong to the Ta'amei Sifrei Emet טַעֲמֵי סִפְרֵי אֱמֶ"ת. "Emet" is an acronym consisting of the Hebrew first letters of the books of Jobאִיוֹב= Aleph , proverbsמִשְלֵי(Mischle) = meme and psalmsתְהִלִּים(Tehilim) = Taw , there are also vowels to be able to pronounce the term. The table shows the occurrence of the two forms of Legarmeh in the three poetic books.
