Cantillation marks search in HMT-W4

[Ken Simpson]

Re your question about searching for the cantillation marks in that order where all four are present, the search we provided does exactly that. If you do what you have above, any verse will have to have them in the exact order and it won't be able to omit any.

 

period, cantillation mark, space

followed by

period, cantillation mark, space

etc

to produce the phrase in the exact order

So, you should be able to do your search perfectly well now. :-)

I don't have the BHS guide but no matter.

 

My problem was that the character chart was a bit confusing since the tiphah and the dehi/tipha look exactly alike on the chart and I wasn't paying attention to the names of the cantillation (trope) marks. I always knew that what is called Sifrey Emet אמת Iyov,Mishley and Tehilim have different trope but I didn't realize that the chart differentiated between the trope in the sifrey emet and the rest of the books.

 

In any event, I know have better insight into how to use the character chart.

 

Thanks

Hi Gordon,

sorry - didn't mean to tell you how to suck eggs. I apologise.

 

I am interested that you don't have the guide though. The website says it comes with

 

Original Languages

Essential

Advanced and

Ultimate

 

Do you not have one of these collections? If you do, you should check your easy install. I find the guide quite helpful.
