Tevir (Hebrew: תְּבִיר, with variant English spellings including T'vir and Tebir) is a cantillation mark commonly found in the Torah, Haftarah, and other Hebrew biblical books. It can be found independently[1] or it can follow any number of other cantillation marks, very commonly a Mercha or Darga.[2]
The Hebrew word תְּבִיר translates into English as broken.
