grammar

The Legarmeh or Munach-Legarmeh ("independent" Munach) is different from the conjunctive Munach a disjunctive trope of the fourth level, which is marked with an additional vertical line immediately after the word. The Legarmeh is an occasionally used alternative to the Geresh, the otherwise used disjunctive trope of the fourth level.

Legarmeh and Munach-Rewia

Legarmeh is a disjunction . This is usually followed by Munach-Rewia. Jacobson illustrates this and a. using the examples Exodus 6.5 BHS (וְגַ֣ם׀ אֲנִ֣י שָׁמַ֗עְתִּי), Lev 11.2 BHS (כֹּ֣ל׀ מַפְרֶ֣סֶת פַּרְסָ֗ה), Exodus 21.32 BHS (כֶּ֣סֶף׀ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים שְׁקָלִ֗ים).

Mercha and Legarmeh and Munach-Rewia

If there are two words in a Legarmeh segment, the following applies: If the previous word relates to the word with Legarmeh, then it is marked with a conjunction , the accent Mercha.

Jacobson illustrates this and a. using the examples Exodus 14.10 BHS (וְהִנֵּ֥ה מִצְרַ֣יִם׀ נֹסֵ֣עַ אַחֲרֵיהֶ֗ם), Lev 13.52 BHS (אֹ֥ו אֶֽת־הַשְּׁתִ֣י׀ אֹ֣ו אֶת־הָעֵ֗רֶב), Lev 13.59 BHS (בֶּ֥גֶד הַצֶּ֣מֶר׀ אֹ֣ו הַפִּשְׁתִּ֗ים), Gen 31.33 BHS (בְּאֹ֥הֶל יַעֲקֹ֣ב׀ וּבְאֹ֣הֶל לֵאָ֗ה).

Mercha and Legarmeh without Munach-Rewia

There are also several examples where Mercha and Legarmeh are not followed by Munach-Rewia. Jacobson illustrates this and a. using the examples Lev 10,6 BHS (רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֥ם אַל־תִּפְרָ֣עוּ׀ וּבִגְדֵיכֶ֤ם לֹֽא־תִפְרֹ֨מוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א תָמֻ֔תוּ), Lev 21,10 BHS (אֲֽשֶׁר־יוּצַ֥ק עַל־רֹאשֹׁ֣ו׀ שֶׁ֤מֶן הַמִּשְׁחָה֙ וּמִלֵּ֣א אֶת־יָדֹ֔ו), Gen 28,9 BHS (אֶֽת ־מָחֲלַ֣ת׀ בַּת־יִשְׁמָעֵ֨אל בֶּן־אַבְרָהָ֜ם).
