A little more on NASOG ACHOR He will eat = YOCHAL Two syllables, YO and CHAL. Accent (normally) on the last syllable - MILRA. yo-CHAL. Look in Vayikra 22:10, 10, 11, 13. The word shows up four times, followed twice each by KO-desh and BO. Perfect examples for the NASOG ACHOR rule. Before a two- syllable word that is accented MIL'EIL, the accent of the first word slides back to the next-to-the-last syllable. yo-CHAL, but YO-chal KO-desh. And before a one syllable word - same thing. NASOG ACHOR. YO-chal BO. But look in 22:14. yo-CHAL KO-desh. No NASOG ACHOR - an exception to the rule. [The Parshat Emor Homepage]
