Notes
1. There are encouragingly numerous agreements between iambic and trochaic types of Donegan & Stampe and the progressive-oxytonic and anticipatory-barytonic orders respectively of Bally, Wartburg, and Lohmann; see #675.2. Germanic, Romance, and Celtic languages used to be iambic, but have drifted towards the trochaic type.3. See comments to #894.4. See also #891.
