Tifcha ((ヘブライ語:טִפְחָ֖א), also spelled ''Tifkha'', ''Tipcha'' and other variant English spellings) is a cantillation mark commonly found in the Torah, Haftarah, and other books that are chanted. In Sephardic and Oriental traditions, it is called Tarcha, meaning "dragging" or "effort". The Tifcha is found in both the Etnachta group as the second member of that group, and in the Sof passuk group, though the melody varies slightly in each. While it is a weak sound, it is considered to be stronger than a Tevir〔Chanting the Hebrew Bible By Joshua R. Jacobson, page 9〕 The Hebrew word טִפְחָ֖א translates into English as ''diagonal''. It is related to the word tefach (''טפך'', measurement of the palm). The tifcha does not have a separating value of its own, as it is in the middle of a set of words.〔Delimitation criticism: a new tool in biblical scholarship By Marjo Christina Annette Korpel, Josef M. Oesch, page 91〕 Tifcha occurs in the Torah 11,285 times, more than any other trope sound. Tifcha is the only trope sound to appear more than 10,000 times in the Torah.〔 The first word of the Torah בראשית (''Bereshit'') is on a Tifcha. ==Total occurrences== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tifcha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
