It would be worthwhile to obtain experimental evidence in order to compare the effects of the two kinds of caesurae on their syllabic environment.
Both these classes of empty positions are described in the tradition as caesurae, but it is obvious that these breaks bear a more structural load than marking line-internal breaks.
Information about individual meters includes the exact sequence of heavy-light syllables defining a meter, the location of caesurae or phrase boundaries, and illustrations of the documented meters.
The unique sequence of measures with the specification of the leftover heavy or light syllables, and information about caesurae (represented here by the colon) constitutes the definition of a meter.
The poem contains 2126 dodecasyllabic lines, with caesurae after the sixth syllable, composed in six books ("libar" s).
In this analysis, there will be as many caesurae or diaereses in a verse as there are (phonological) words, most of them insignificant.
Caesurae are never placed before the fourth syllable in a line.
The plural form of "caesura" is "caesurae".
