Yetiv (יְ֚תִיב) is a
clause, generally on one- or two-syllable words.The Yetiv uses the same < symbol as the Mahpach, but when it is present, the < comes at the beginning of the word, unlike in a Mahpach, it is placed under the letter of the first syllable that is stressed. It is found to the right of the vowel. There is also no Pashta.[1] In print, the Yetiv will sometimes be distinguished from the Mahapach by being more acutely angled, but in the identical position.
Yetiv occurs in the Torah 356 times.[2]
The Hebrew word יְ֚תִיב translates into English as sitting.
