Just a minor point, not of too much value:
Heidenheim points out that mikra kodesh has a meteg in the
mem only when the word kodesh has a zakef katan but not with
other ta'amim. Cohen-Keter backs this up with statistics
from the Keter that this is a general rule.
A meteg is much more common in word pairs ending with a
zakef katan.
