Segol (trope)

Segol (Hebrew: סְגוֹל֒   also known as Segolta, with variant English spellings), is a cantillation mark found in the Torah, Haftarah, and other books of the Hebrew Bible. The Segol occurs together with a preceding Zarka, sometimes with a Munach preceding one or both.

The Segol group is considered to be a disjunctive. It occurs in place of the Katan group or a Zakef gadol.[1] It is the strongest disjunctive group ahead of the Etnachta group.[2]

The Hebrew word סְגוֹל֒ translates into English as bunch, referring to a bunch of grapes. This is reflected in its appearance as a three-dot symbol.

gollark: I think my phytogenic insolation system almost does that.
gollark: I basically just meant "standard design and location for a common group of cables for in-base systems".
gollark: Have you *seen* the machine room basement?
gollark: It's okay with power and water, which are simple, but AE2's got channels and I'm P2P tunneling.
gollark: We really need to design and apply a sensible cabling standard. I'm tired of fixing the mess of cables I created several days ago.
