Trochaic verses, containing in regular prescribed positions irrational measures or irrational feet (cf. § 609. e), are called Logaœdic. The principal logaœdic forms are—
Logaœdic Tetrapody (four feet): GLYCONIC.
Logaœdic Tripody (three feet): PHERECRATIC (often treated as a syncopated Tetrapody Catalectic).
Logaœdic Dipody (two feet): this may be regarded as a short Pherecratic.
