catalexis การใช้

• One giving the Saturnian's heptasyllabic half-line by acephaly ( truncation of line-beginning ), the other yielding the hexasyllabic colon both by acephaly and catalexis ( truncation of line-end ).
• However, in very rare contexts where catalexis might be considered probable ( e . g ., in English trochaic tetrameter, or in differentiating acatalectic verses from surrounding catalectic ones ), explicit expression of the verse's metrical completeness may be achieved by using the term.
• The defining " foot " of a limerick's meter is usually the anapaest, ( " ta-ta-TUM " ), but catalexis ( missing a weak syllable at the beginning of a line ) and extra-syllable rhyme ( which adds an extra unstressed syllable ) can make limericks appear amphibrachic ( " ta-TUM-ta " ).
