Torn

 ל"ז:ל"ג

טָרֹף טֹרַף יוֹסֵף

This advisory is much more relevant for the oh-ers than the oy-ers. It is very important to make sure the vowel on the ט is a חולם and not a קמץ. If you pronounce it טָרַף it is the third-person active, I.e. he tore. With the proper pronunciation, however, it is the passive form, I.e. he was torn.
