METRE
71
But one more short after the 13. mora would remove the defect and the number of morae would be brought up to 30 in both the helves.
B. quiers. $ 22. The language of all the following avans is Prakritised Apabhramśa.
20. Alfett. Occurrence : 100. This is the well-known metre with the scheme www wow --

$ 23.
21. Affor (afqaft). Occurrence : 171.
Only Vus. III 20 and the text and the comm. of the Sr. (st. 170d) support the name riferont (or igio). It is nothing but the commonly known alce with the scheme w-w
ww- i. e. 4 1705. Vus. IV 54 again defines this metre under the name fonte ( = ). The reason perhaps is that at III 20 it is treated as one of the facets, while at IV 54, independently. Compare the similar twofold treatment of Thuty (hum) and patiates (s) in the VJs. To define the metre of SR. 171, the 671641 on Sr. 171 and the 34a7k on Sr. 170 quote a stanza which is practically identical with Ck. 7, except one significant variant: the first qe of CK, 7 reads the name as atza, while the com.s read wifeoft in its stead. § 24.
22. HATTER (JATER). Occurrence: 173.
When atam is extended by a autor, we get tarafes. Thus it has 5 i per line. The Vjs. twice defines this metre, once as a fecat at III 21 with the special name fakta (it), and again independently at IV 61. Cf. Pp. II 154.
