lethargic_manI had a look in my tikkun to see what the leyning I've got coming up is like, and amongst what I saw was:
The above contains a יֵרֶח בֶּן יוֹמוֹ, lit "one-day old moon", which, before printers changed the shape of all the notes, looked like this: ˘ and a קַרְנֵי פָרָה, literally "horns of a cow", which originally looked like this: \/. These are the rarest notes in the Torah, only occurring in this one place, and the only notes I have never leyned. (I first encountered a מֵרְכָא כּפוּלָה, viz. ֦ a few years ago, and I got a שַׁלְשֶׁלֶת, viz. ֓, both of which occur five times in the Torah, in my barmitzvah portion.)
<heads off to Victor Tunkel's dargā table to learn how to sing them>
[ETA: If you get squares turning up in place of the notes, see here for guidance on how to install the fonts you need.]
וּמַדֹּתֶ֞ם מִח֣וּץ לָעִ֗יר אֶת־פְּאַת־קֵ֣דְמָה אַלְפַּ֪יִם בָּֽאַמָּ֟הTo which my reaction was "Full house!"
