Shalom!
Questions about post-positive accent signs in Masoretic manuscripts: (1) When a Pashta is used in a Mil'ra word, there is no issue - the word's stress is on the last syllable anyway. However, when a Pashta is used in a Mil'el word, I've seen it appearing twice in the word - one Pashta above the stressed syllable and the other Pashta at its normal location (the upper left "corner" of the word). QUESTION: Are there any Mil'el words that have a single Pashta at the end of the word even though the stressed syllable is not the word's last syllable (based on the word's structure). (2) I've seen Mil'el words with other post-positive accents (Telisha Ketana or Zarka). In the words I've seen, there is only one accent (at the end of the word) and no accent on the syllable that is supposed to be stressed (based on the word's structure). QUESTION: Are there Mil'el words that have two such signs per word (as is the case with Pashta)?
