Pazer
Pazer ( ) is a cantillation mark found in the Torah, Haftarah, and other books of the Hebrew Bible.

This places strong emphasis on the meaning of the particular word. The Hebrew word translates into English as distribute or disseminate. This relates to the high number of notes in its melody. In a mystical interpretation, it shows the distribution of divinity.
