Data BUG (LHB-CA): Silluq/Meteg indistinction
18,769 data errors are due to tagging every Silluq in the Hebrew Bible as Meteg, which is simply preposterous (Meteg isn't even really a Cantillation mark). Here's a search that finds all these. I mentioned this before and Eli said it could be "easily changed". This is also covered in the Resolving Ambiguities section of Richters site.

Hi Reuben.
As with the Meayla/Tipcha ambiguity, I want to follow up here since Hebrew Cantillations are a bit out of my depth, and I want to make sure I'm addressing the ambiguity appropriately.
You mention "Silluq", but my understanding is that Silluq is part of Sof Pasuq.
In this case, if both a Meteg and a Sof Pasuq occur in the same *text segment* (not visual word), the Meteg needs to be removed. Is that correct?

Correct.

Hi Reuben.
I have a version of the data internally that only returns 114 hits for text segements that include both Meteg and Sof Pasuq. Examples include the final text segments in Gen 4:22 and Gen 6:19 and 20.
I'm assuming this is a much better version of the data and rather than work on the remaining 114 (assuming they're incorrect?) I will instead work on verifying some of the other large scale issues you reported.
Thanks again!

Rick, sorry for the very delayed response!

I'm seeing 141 hits, but per a quick scan, they do all appear to be correct (containing both meteg & silluq). I think this report can be closed out as resolved. THANKS!
