symbol

Like Rewia qaton and Rewia mugrasch, Rewia gadol is a variant of Rewia . Rewia gadol means large Rewia, Rewia qaton means small Rewia. The sign is therefore identical to that of the Rewia in appearance and position and consists of a point above the stressed syllable. The sign is shown in a diamond shape when printed.

grammar

Rewia gadol is used as a subordinate separator in a Rewia Mugrasch, an Atnach, or an Ole-we-Jored segment. Several Rewia Gadol segments can appear in a sentence. Rewia gadol can also occur alone.

A Mahpach legarmeh or an Azla legarmeh can appear as a separator in the area in front of a Rewia gadol and further away in front of that there is also a Pazer segment, where Pazer means a stronger incision than Azla legarmeh. In some cases, pazer can be used instead of azla legarmeh.

As a conjunctive accent, only a single character can appear before Rewia gadol, which, depending on the circumstances, can be an Illuj, Mercha, Mahpach or Zinnorit-Mahpach.
