i was wondering if anyone had an opinion on this idea:

yesobebeni, end jonah 2:4a

if you buy my metrical analysis (immaculate pentameter), you'd have an
enjambement at this point.

however, is it possible to read 2:4a ending with wenahar? against the
accents? it would actually be nicer from a syntactic/parallel point of
view.

look at it. thoughts appreciated!
