<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word">Thank you !
<div class="">Usually the word “YA’AN’ is logically connected to the words that comes after it, and indeed, I found that the majority of the 97 cases of where the word YA’AN appears, it comes with a MESHARET.</div>
<div class="">There are few places that it comes with Shalish, and some cases with Ravia, Pashta or Yativ. It is easy to explain the last two, as they come before Zakef Katon.</div>
<div class="">The only three places where YA’AN comes with a MELECH, are the places that the Mesora mentioned. My understanding is that it is unusual to have YA’AN with a MELECH. (There is one more YA’AN, comes with Zakef Katon, but in that case YA’AN is a
name of a place).</div>
<div class="">When I read these three places I can feel that YAAN really is emphasized, and probably this is the reason why the Ba’ale Hateamim used Zakef Gadol for this three.</div>
