Tripod
Tripodie ( Greek τριπόδειος tripodeios " three feet ") is a metric unit consisting of three feet of verse in verse .
As meter referred Tripodie (or triplicity ) an existing three Versfüßen verse . In metric notation , the tripody is identified by the superscript number 3 after the abbreviation of the foot of the verse.
An example is the Ithyphallikos , an Attic meter that can be interpreted as a Trochaic tripody (—◡ | —◡ | —◡, tr 3 ). In Latin literature there are examples of:
- Ithyphallikos in Plautus
- Cretan tripod (cr 3) according to the scheme - × - | —◡— | —◡ × in Plautus and Terence
- Bacchic tripody (ba 3), catalectically according to the scheme × —— | × —— | × ◠ in Plautus and akatalectic according to the scheme × —— | × —— | × - ◠ in Plautus and Caecilius Statius
In the accentuating metric of modern languages like German, the tripody corresponds to the three-pointers .
