Senar (verse doctrine)
A senarius ( latin senarius "six-membered", "six-part") is in the Verslehre a six Versfüßen existing meter . In metric formula notation , the Senar is identified by the superscript number 6 after the abbreviation of the foot of the verse.
The term hexapody ( Greek ἑξάπους "six feet ") is also largely synonymous , with the term Senar being used more in the area of Latin poetry and the term hexapody in the area of Greek poetry.
Examples of senars in Latin poetry are:
- Iambic Senar (yes 6):
- × —ˌ × —ˌ × —ˌ × —ˌ × —ˌ◡ ◠
- Bacchic Senar (ba 6):
- × ——ˌ × ——ˌ × ——ˌ × ——ˌ × ——ˌ × - ◠
In the case of monopodic feet, where the foot corresponds to the metron , the senar and hexapody are in principle the same as the hexameter . This is especially true for the dactylic hexameter (there 6):
- - ◡◡ ˌ— ◡◡ ˌ— ◡◡ ˌ— ◡◡ ˌ — ◡◡ˌ— ◠
In the dipodischen Versfüßen Jambus , Trochäus and anapaest in which one of two Metron Versfüßen is, the senarius corresponding trimeter .
In the accentuating metric of modern languages such as German, the hexapody corresponds to the six-pointers .
