See v. 1

Adjective: te mee may/perfect

Begin reading your Hebrew text (Bible—Psalm 119:1) from right to left. The second word is “te me may” meaning “perfect”.

The first letter is a tav. It has a “t” sound. With the sheva underneath it, it sounds like “te” in “tenor”. It is followed with a mem. The mem has a “m” sound like in “man”. With the hirek (a vowel) underneath it, it sounds like “me”. It is followed by the yud, used as an auxiliary vowel or vowel lengthener. See Ges. § 8b1. Following the first yud from right to left, we have another mem, follow by another yud with a tsayray underneath it. The last yud is an auxiliary vowel also, only it helps lengthen the “ay” sound because of the tsayray underneath the last mem.

So we have the sound “te mee may”: Sound.

This word is joined to the following word by a mappeph.
