The flex is made by lowering the voice a second or a third, according to the
tone, on the last syllable before the sign f or even on the second last syllable, if this
syllable be not accented. However, a different interpretation is allowed. The
inflexion of the voice may be replaced by a simple prolongation of the dominant
(tenor) and a slight pause. These rules are applied also to monosyllables and
Hebrew words. (S. C. of Rites, July 8th and Dec. 12th 1912).
