Rhyme
In Wiobian pair rhymes are called "embracing rhymes" (Wiobian: ẞill-Niuþe) and cross rhymes are called "woven rhymes" (Wiobian: Ɉüst-Niuþe). In a ẞill-Niuþe, rhyming lines follow each other immediately. Embracing rhymes are considered sentimental and warm and are e.g. favored for love poetry, laments and some types of hymns. In a Ɉüst-Niuþe the same rhyme reappears in different lines throughout the stanza. This is favored for broader types of poetry such as certain hymns and narrative, polemic and intellectual poems.
Meter
It goes without saying that the selection of meters depends heavily on the stage of Wiobian the poem is written in. Early Classical Wiobian meter relies on accentual meters, which are sequences of feet, almost exclusively trochaic or iambic. Scansion tends to shift in late Classical poetry to the number of accented syllables, which corresponds to the number of syllables in later Wiobian. Thus post-classical, vernacular Wiobian meter is scanned only on the basis of the number of syllables. On the other hand, caesurae are more frequently used.
