Cantillation Diagrams

Bracket/staircase accent-structure diagrams generated from the MACULA Hebrew WLC text, following Sung Jin Park, The Fundamentals of Hebrew Accents: Divisions and Exegetical Roles Beyond Syntax (2023).

Each verse is split into major domain panels (a = Athnach half, b = Silluq half). Hebrew words appear in natural RTL order: the governing accent (D0) is leftmost; earlier verse words extend rightward. Bracket lines step down as a staircase — D0 at the top-left, progressively deeper domains lower and further right. D1f (near/final branch) labels are shown in gray; accent names appear in italics below each word.

Depth labels: D0 = panel governor · D1f = near branch before D0 · D1 = far branch · D2f/D2 = next level · C = conjunctive
