[Mesorah] Another kleinigkeit

[Aharon Gal]

Not a proof, but a סברה based on סבירות:

According to the book  "צורות הקשר וצורות הפסק בעברית שבמקרא” (Dr. Israel Ben David) in the תבנית of "פתח/קמץ במלרע"   when the trop is Zakef Katon (Melech) 25% of the cases will come with Tzurat Hefsek . For Ravia it is 9%. Tzinor 8%, Dechi 2.4%. The trop on the last three is a Mishne.

In the following Pesukim where the verb is in Zakef Katon (MELECH - the last two) the verb (binyan paal) come with Tzurat Hemshech (Kamatz Patach)
וּמַלְאַ֣ךְ ה' הָלַ֖ךְ מֵעֵינָֽיו
ה' נָתַ֔ן וַיהוָ֖ה לָקָ֑ח
ה' אָמַ֔ר לִשְׁכֹּ֖ן בָּעֲרָפֶֽל

While in the verses in Tehillim where the verbs have trop MISHNE they are with Tzurat Hefsek:
 אִמְר֤וּ בַגּוֹיִ֨ם | יְה֘וָ֤ה מָלָ֗ךְ (Tehillim 96:10)
יְהוָ֣ה מָ֭לָךְ תָּגֵ֣ל הָאָ֑רֶץ (Tehillim 97:1)
יְהוָ֣ה מָלָךְ֮ גֵּא֪וּת לָ֫בֵ֥שׁ (Tehillim 93:1)

Minchas Shay IIRC gives His honor as a reason for the dagesh in "mi kamocha" in Az yashir; and I seem to recall reading somewhere that appearing between two copies of His name is why "mik'dash", also in Az yashir, has a dagesh "l'sif'eres".  So maybe malach instead of mal'ach, too?
