Here also the 50 cases of the ninth syllable must show a short value. The 11 cases in the 8th syllable appear to go against the expected short value, but we must note that in all these 11 cases there is the word-ending, in which case a short syllable in the 8th is permissible. In the 15th cases of the 6th syllable, the e ando occur in the second place after the caesura and is preferably short. The shemes are 5 = (-u) 10 = (UU -). The cases in the 7th syllable are not so uniform. Their schemes are : 2 = (UU) 4 = (UU U) and 4 = (UU). Even here the preference for a short syllable is visible. The 65 cases in the 4th and 5th syllables all occurring before the caesura remain doubtful. In the 27 cases of the third syllable, the value is decidedly short as both the 2nd and the 4th syllables are long. The 14 cases of the second syllable show a long third syllable and in view of the prevailing iambic cadence, they should be preferably short. The 3 cases in the first syllable remain indeterminate.
