Zakef katan

Zakef Katan (Hebrew: זָקֵף קָטָ֔ן, lit.

'upright small'; various romanizations[1]), often referred to simply as katan, is a cantillation mark commonly found in the Torah, Haftarah, and other books of the Hebrew Bible.

The note is the anchor and final one of the Katon group, which also can include the Mapach, Pashta, Munach, or Yetiv.

There is no limit to the number of times the Katan group can appear in a verse, and often, multiple Katan groups appear in succession.

[3] Zakef katan occurs in the Torah 6992 times.
