You would do this when I'm doing a paper on linguistics of Biblical Hebrew, wouldn't you. Okay, from William Chomsky's "David Kimhi's Hebrew Grammar (Mikhlol)":

g. (c) דחיק, [when a monosyllable with a quiescent is joined by a Makkef to the following word], e.g. מה-פרצת Gn 28:29, מה-תארו I S 28:14, etc.

h. (d) אתי מרחיק, when a word ending in a toneless

You know what? These sentences are actually pages and pages long, and I'm lazy. From pg. 23 of Jane Eyre, which is the closes book I'm NOT using for this paper.

Georgiana sat on a high stool, dressing her hair at the glass, and interweaving her curls with artificial flowers and faded feathers, of which she had found a store in a drawer in the attic.

My G-d, 19th C. sentences were long. Semicolons all over the damn place. I give up. I really do.
