Telisha qetanna ֩ ( Hebrew תְּלִישָׁא קְטַנָּה֩), also known as Telischa ketanna or Telischa parvum , is a trope ( Greek τρόπος tropos , German: intonation, melody, tone, song) in the Jewish liturgy and is one of the biblical accent marks Teamim , which appear in the Torah and other books.
In the Ashkenazi tradition, the emphasis sign is called Telisha qetanna . The Ashkenazi addition qetanna (קְטַנָּה, dt .: small) refers to the small, shorter note that follows, so the short note kadma. The Sephardic called tradition Talscha / Talsa / Tilsa (תַּלְשָׁא֩), while the Italian tradition as Tarsa referred (תַּרְסָא֩). In the Yemeni tradition it is also called Tilscho Semol (תִּלְשָא שְׂמֹאל). The Yemeni tradition uses the Hebrew word Semol (שְׂמֹאל, Eng .: left) to refer to the symbol that is located on the left end of the word and points to the left.

symbol
The symbol of Telisha qetanna consists of a small circle with a small line pointing down to the right. The accent is added and appears at the top left at the end of the word. The symbol is a mirror image of the symbol of Telischa gedola and can easily be confused with it.
grammar
| Geresch | Kadma | Telisha qetanna | Munach |
|---|---|---|---|
| ֜ | ֨ | ֩ | ֣ |
Telisha qetanna is a conjunction, a secondary link, and basically comes before a kadma. Often it appears as an additional conjunctive accent together with Kadma before Geresch. Before Telisha qetanna, the conjunction Munach can also appear once or several times.
| Zarqa | Munach Mercha |
Kadma | Telisha qetanna | (Munach) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ֮ |
֣ ֥ |
֨ | ֩ | ֣ |
The trope in front of Zarqa, Pashta or Tevir appears less frequently in cases where these disc junctions replace a geresch. In these cases, the combination of Telisha qetanna and Kadma is always followed by a further conjunction up to one of the disjunctions mentioned.
