3. Top 40 (43 %) 37 (39 %) 4 (4 %) 13 (14 %)
As wu, cu has originated from the anapaest (cf. Gana 2.), we can sum up the first two figures in the case of each of the two TUTS and this gives us the result that "the anapaest basic tendency is still more strongly impressed on the 3. 7 than it is on the 1." (Kp.) 8 7. .
7. ma (aon) or area (aria ). Occurrence : (independentl) 107; (as the first four lines of the strophe arcy) 148, 183, 191 (only a b), 199, 137 (?).
There are 24 morae to each 4. The scheme given by the Pp. (109) is 6+4+1 4+4+6. GTU is forbidden in the 2. and the 4. 79 and the last two morae are to be short. Ch. and others define this metre under the name ryqeu and their scheme differs in this that they say nothing regarding the caesura after the 11. mora.
After examining one hundred and odd aftaga stanzas from different sources, Alsdorf (Kp. pp. 74-75) comes to the conclusion that the main caesura falls after the 3. To (i. e. after the 14. mora), while later on a second caesura has developed after the 11. mora., which, in the stanzas examined by him appears regularly, but not quite without exceptions. This secon caesura is considered by the Pp. as the main caesura.
In the case of the SR. all the areas have both of the caesura. The last top is w-U (15) or ---- (3) without exception. The material is too scanty to permit statements with any positiveness regarding the form of the other Tots. In the 3. To the cases are divided exactly half to half between amphibrachys (--) and proceleusmatism (---). In the point of preference of forms in the 2. and the 4. Tut our text supplements Alsdorf's data to some extent :
