bullet::::- maqam sigah, or sikah, from the persian for "third place", is applied when there are special readings in the parasha. it is also applied on holidays. this maqam is linked to the holiday of purim due to the abundance of pizmonim related to the holiday in this maqam (no doubt because the maqam is of persian origin, and the events of the book of esther take place in persia). this maqam is also of importance because it is the maqam that is used for the cantillation of the torah. for parashas bo, beha'alotecha, and eqeb, parashas that are the "third" in their respective books, maqam sigah, which means "third [place]," is used.
