U+0591 "֑" Hebrew Accent Etnahta is a cantillation mark used in biblical Hebrew texts to indicate a specific melodic and syntactic pause, functioning as the main divider within a verse, often equivalent to a comma or semicolon in English punctuation. It attaches to the stressed syllable of a word and signals a break that is less final than the silluq, which marks the end of a verse, and it forms part of the te’amim system that guides the liturgical chanting of the Hebrew Bible.
