Munach is a unifying accent of the lowest level and can be found within different tropical groups: in the Segol tropical group, the Katon tropical group, the Etnachta tropical group, the Rewia tropical group and the Telischa tropical group. Munach receives its own melody in each tropical group.

Munach can also appear twice in the Rewia tropical group. The first Munach becomes Munach legarmeh | ֣ מוּנַח לְגַרְמֵ֣הּ׀, Paseq פָּסֵ֣ק׀or just Legarmeh (לְגַרְמֵ֣יהּ׀) called and separated with a vertical line Pasek and has a much longer melody than the second Munach. The otherwise conjunctive Munach becomes a disjunctive sign with its own melody.
