In the Ashkenazi , Sephardic and Italian traditions the accent sign is called zinnorite . In the Yemeni tradition it is called zinorif . The shape of the sign is reminiscent of a lying mirror-inverted S.

symbol

Zinnorite uses the same symbol as Zarqa . The Trope Zarqa is a post position and therefore appears as a symbol at the end of the word on the left as in the exampleזַרְקָא֮. With the trope zinnorite the symbol appears directly above the stressed consonant, exampleרָ֘עֵ֤ב with zinnorite mahpach, also always in combination with mercha or mahpach in one word.

Zinnorite Mercha and Zinnorite Mahpach

Zinnorite is always combined with a second other accent mark to form a conjunctive accent.

Zinnorite in combination with mercha results in zinnorite mercha (צִנּוֹרִ֘ית-מֵרְכָ֥א) or Mercha Mezunneret (מרכא מצנרת). Zinnorite-mercha appears as a conjunction before Sof pasuk, less often before Atnach and Rewia Mugrasch.

In combination with Mahpach, Zinnorite-Mahpach (צִנּוֹרִ֘ית-מַהְפַּ֤ך) or Mehupach Mezunnar (מהפך מצנר). Zinnorit-Mahpach extends Mahpach if the stressed syllable is preceded by an open syllable with a full vowel, it serves the same disjunctions as Mahpach and can therefore be viewed as a musical variant of Mahpach. It occurs most often as a conjunctive stress sign before Rewia gadol and before Asla legarmeh .

Occurrence

The two forms of zinnorite 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 zinnorite in the three poetic books.
