[Mesorah] trope question on Bereshis 1:5 & 1:10

[Michael Poppers]

Isn't the first example one of "nasog achor" (the accent being pushed back from the usual qaRA to QAra because the first syllable of the next word, LAYlah, is accented)?

All the best from

An acquaintance asked the following question:

>In verse 1:5 is the phrase "v'lachoshekh KAra lailah" (emphasis in
>kara is on the first syllable per the trope).  Later, in what
>seems like parallel construction in 1:10, we have "ulmikveh hamayim
>kaRA yamim" -- emphasis in kara is on the second syllable.  Both
>phrases are the same trope in the same family -- the "kara" is
>munach in et nachta.  I checked multiple sources, thinking this
>was a typo, but apparently not.
>
>Why the difference?

Any ideas?
