    Elaine:

    Thanks for the clarifications. I'm barely a novice in this area, but trying
    to learn.

    Does this have any implications regarding the issue as to whether there is
    another distinct accent needing to be encoded? Of those that have an
    interest in the te'amim, is there general consensus that there was a
    distinction made in at least some manuscripts?
