Hebrew cantillation
Some basics:
The Hebrew Cantillation charts are available through either the interactive or the clause visualization:
- Hebrew Cantillations. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2014.
- Lexham Hebrew Bible: Cantillation Analysis Graphs. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2016.
- Brannan, Rick. Lexham Hebrew Bible: Cantillation Analysis Documentation. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2017.
There is only one resource for Hebrew Cantillations that appears in the Visualizations Guide; it is available only for the Hebrew Bible canon.
The contents of the Lexham Hebrew Bible: Cantillation Analysis Graphs:
- Cantillation mark name which is consistent with the name used in the Interactive
- Domain – first part is labeled A, the second part is labeled B
- Rank (for disjunctive marks) which is indicated by a letter following the cantillation mark name
- Hebrew text divided into visual words
- Hebrew text divided into “words”
- Hebrew lemma
- Morphology coding
- English gloss
Clicking on an element in the chart highlights the related scope; Context Menus are available on a right click.
The same data from the interactive but with the tooltip on the Hebrew text not available for a screen shot.
Unfortunately, I’ve yet to spend the time required to truly understand the Cantillation marks – partially because I don’t read Hebrew. However, the resources that I provided above should serve as a solid starting point for you to build the knowledge I lack.
