Etnaḥta
Etnaḥta is one of the strongest internal separators in the ordinary twenty-one-book accent system. It often divides a verse into two large sense units. Before learning a melody, learn to use Etnaḥta as a reading map: what comes before it forms a major phrase, and what follows begins the next major part.
