[In Ger. ana päst ; Fr. anapeste ; Sp. & Port. a napes to ; Lat. anapæstus. From Gr. ἀνάπαιστος ( anapaistos ), as substantive = anapæst; as adj. struck back; ἀναπαίω ( απαραίō ) = to strike again or back; ἀνά ( ana ) = again; παίω (paio) = to strike.] Prosody: A foot consisting of three syllables: It the first two short, and the third long. may, from one point of view, be considered the reverse of a dactyl, which has the first syllable long, and the second and third short. In Latin, Helēne is an anapest. In English it is difficult to find single words, each constituting an anapest; the tendency in our language being to pronounce trisyllables as dactyls. Overflow and various other words beginning with over may be made anapæsts; thus , o věr | flow , o věr | reach , though they might also be made amphimacers, ō | věr | flow, ō | věr | reach . The following is an anapæstic line: To your homes | cried the lea | děr of Īs | ră - el's host. "An anapest is all their music's song, Whose first two feet are short, and third is long."
