david,
 
1) the breuer bible editions don't distinguish between sheva na/nach. i 
assume by chumash you are referring to his tikkun, but are you sure that he 
himself was responsible for inserting the na/nach markings here? my 
impression is that this he didn't do this himself
 
2) i'm not clear from your response to rivka. do you think that every meteg 
before a sheva, according to the massorets, is na? if so how do you account 
for the hundreds (thousands?) of examples where it is impossible for the 
meteg to indicate na (e.g., before a guttoral letter).
 
3) r. breuer listed 10 different classes of metagim; some metagim were 
definately before sheva nach. (and iirc ditto yeivin)
 
kol tuv,
ari kinsberg

meteg + vav--shuruk; Leviticus 25:34 ( the sheva was nach, with the meteg -- 
na). Genesis 21:6 (the last word with the makef) -- here you have more 
complicated issue: nasog ahor. > > > > sources (medieval grammarians, modern
