Technical Jewish question

I'm chanting haftarah for the first time on 1st August. I'm going through the text learning the chant but I've come across a problem. Isaiah 40:5 begins with tipchah munach katon, but the book I'm learning from doesn't say that you can get tipchahs in katon clauses so I don't know how to sing it.

Any ideas?

<has a look> How bizarre. It looks clear to me that it's an אֶתְנַחתָּא clause with a קָטוֹן in place of the אֶתְנַחתָּא; and I personally would leyn it as such, but I'm not an expert. (I also can't say for certain whether you should leyn the קָטוֹן as an אֶתְנַחתָּא or as it's written.)
