Five lifters
In verse, a five-meter is a meter with five cents or a specific verse that corresponds to such a meter. The term can be used in literatures with an accentuating verse principle , since only there the number of elevations is decisive for the meter. Because after the Heusler Verslehre corresponds to the number of clocks in the number of elevations, the five-lifter is there even five strokes named.
In other modern languages the five-meter is also referred to as a pentameter , which is actually not correct in the case of the iambic five-meter, since the iambic metron consists of two feet of verse, so an iambic pentameter would be ten feet.
For the shapes of the five-lifter in connection with specific verse feet, see:
