WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
Meteg
Meteg is a small vertical mark written beneath a biblical word near a vowel. It can help signal secondary stress, vowel treatment, or traditional reading information. It is not one of the main phrase-dividing cantillation marks, even though it appears in the same pointed biblical text.
