"Etnachta" is a term that refers to a specific cantillation mark used in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) tradition. It is part of the system of trope or tracing marks that indicate how the text should be chanted or read aloud, particularly in liturgical contexts. Etnachta serves to indicate a pause or separation between sections of a verse, and it often signifies a logical or grammatical break in the text.
