Ekphonetic notation
text:
Ekphonetic notation consists of symbols added to certain sacred texts, especially lectionary readings of Biblical texts, as a mnemonic device to assist in their cantillation. Ekphonetic notation can take a number of forms, and has been used in several Jewish and Christian plainchant traditions, but is most commonly associated with Byzantine chant. Joseph Huzaya introduced ekphonetic notation into Syriac in the early 6th century. Ekphonetic notation ceased to be used about the fourteenth century.
