DACTYL

Short explanation: Dactyl represents a lengthy syllable and two small ones afterwards in Greek or Latin poetry.

Example: – ◡ ◡

Comment: The term 'dactyl,' helps to understand rhythm and stress patterns in language and Phonology, the study of how sounds are organized within languages, uses patterns like the dactyl to explore how stress and rhythm shape linguistic structures. This analysis aids linguists in identifying subtle variations in the flow of language and influences how words are pronounced and perceived within communication.

Origin: The word "dactyl" comes from the Greek word "dáktülös," which means "finger." This is because, similar to the finger, the dactyl has just one lengthy syllable followed by two short ones.

Other language:

Greek: dáktülös

Deutsch: der Daktylus
