[Mesorah] Vayikra 19:24

[Danny Levy]

As nobody has responded, maybe one of the following two tentative
suggestions will provoke a discussion that will lead us to a solution:

1. The Ba'alei Hamesorah are hinting al derekh hadrush, that if you abstain
from eating the fruit in the first three years, in the fourth year the tree
will have *all* its fruit.
Question: is there a precedent for te'amim al derekh hadrush instead of al
derekh hap'shat?

2. The etnachta at "piryo" is a poetic parallel to the etnachta on "piryo"
in the previous pasuk.
Question: If the etnachta would be at "harevi'it", "piryo" would have a
zakef, a poetic parallel to the zakef on "piryo" in the *next* pasuk.  So
why favor a parallel that disturbs the natural division of the pasuk over a
parallel that retains the natural division of the pasuk?
