dear henry and other masoretes,

if you remember a little back you gave stats on nesiga distribution by
accent, showing that the numbers didn't line up with pausal numbers.
correct.

but now, here's something interesting: i don't know what it means yet.
lesser pausal environments can be found, not sure how to define them
yet, but i can give you examples: e.g., the pausal environment before
ka'asher.

lesser environments
by accent henry's reported numbers for nesiga

d0 33.3% 32.5%
d1 41.7% 41.4%
d2+ 25% 26.4%
etc

again, don't know what to make of yet, except that nesiga **is**
pausal, once we understand pause better. ;-)
