(Mahpach) Pashta (Munach) Zaqef Qaton: one of the most common
groups. Pashta can appear without a Mahpach, but a Mahpach cannot appear
without a Pashta. Alternatively, Yetiv can appear on its own in place of
Pashta. Zaqef Qaton can appear without a Munach, but a Munach cannot
appear without a Qaton (or other following disjunctive). The
Munach-Zaqef Katon sequence can appear without the Mahpach-Pashta, but
the Mahpach-Pashta cannot appear without the Zaqef Katon.
Zaqef Gadol: Not a part of a group, as it replaces a Zaqef Qaton sequence.
(Munach) Zarqa (Munach) Segol: Zarqa is only ever found before Segol; a
Munach may precede either one.
Shalshelet: Not a part of a group, as it replaces a Segol
sequence. Occurs only four times in the Torah, and always at the
beginning of a verse.
