A new way to learn teʿamim.
Etnachta is a rich resource for anyone interested in biblical cantillation, known in Hebrew as taʿamei hammiqra. Cantillation marks guide the traditional chanting of the biblical text and reflect the syntactic analysis of each verse.
This site teaches the classic Tiberian cantillation system used for the entire Tanakh except the three poetic books of Job, Proverbs, and Psalms, which have their own distinct cantillation system.
It offers an interactive, feature-rich tikkun to help users prepare upcoming Torah, Haftarah, and Megillah readings, along with a guide to the syntax and interdependencies of the teʿamim, an advanced teʿamim search, a fill-in-the-blank quiz, and guided lessons on verses from the Bible.
