Segol (Hebrew: סְגוֹל also known as Segolta, with variant English spellings), is a cantillation mark found in the Torah, Haftarah, and other books of the Hebrew Bible. The Segol occurs together with a preceding Zarka, sometimes with a Munach preceding one or both.
The Segol group is considered to be a disjunctive. It occurs in place of the Katan group or a Zakef gadol.[1] It is the strongest disjunctive group ahead of the Etnachta group.[2]
The Hebrew word סְגוֹל translates into English as bunch, referring to a bunch of grapes. This is reflected in its appearance as a three-dot symbol.
