The Zakef katan (זָקֵף קָטָ֔ן, with other variant English spellings), often referred to simply as ''"Katan,"'' is a cantillation mark commonly found in the Torah, Haftarah, and other books of the Hebrew Bible. The note is the anchor and final one of the Katon group, which also can include the Mapach, Pashta, Munach, or Yetiv. It is one of the most common cantillation marks. There is no limit to the number of times the Katan group can appear in a verse, and often, multiple Katan groups appear in succession. The most times in succession the group occurs is four.〔A compendious grammar of the Hebrew language By G. F. R. Weidemann, page 48〕 The symbol for the Zakef katan is a colon (:). It is placed on the syllable of the word that is accented.〔Chanting the Hebrew Bible By Joshua R. Jacobson, page 51〕 Zakef katan occurs in the Torah 6992 times.〔 The Zakef katan is one of two versions of the ''Zakef'' trope, the other being Zakef gadol.〔Chanting the Hebrew Bible By Joshua R. Jacobson, page 117〕 The Hebrew word זָקֵף translates into English as ''upright''. קָטָ֔ן translates as ''small''. ==The Katan group== In the Katan group, the trope can appear in the following patterns: *Mapach Pashta Munach Zakef-Katan *Mapach Pashta Zakef-Katan *Pashta Munach Zakef-Katan *Pashta Zakef-Katan *Munach Zakef-Katan *Zakef-Katan *Yetiv Munach Zakef-Katan *Yetiv Zakef-Katan 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「zakef katan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
