The most common meter in literary verse by far is the anapestic tetrameter: (u)uSuuSuuSuuS. It is also used in the [[Verse:Tricin/King Sămtsay Song|King Sămtsay Song]], the Bjeheondian national anthem. | The most common meter in literary verse by far is the anapestic tetrameter: (u)uSuuSuuSuuS.

Iambic meters and meters that use a combination of iambs and anapests are also used. An iambic meter that goes back to Classical Windermere verse is the ''chinung tălach'' ('hexad meter', more literally 'hexad count'), a form of alexandrine where each line consists of two iambic trimeter hemistichs separated by a caesura. The first of each group of three feet may occasionally be a trochee. | Iambic meters and meters that use a combination of iambs and anapests are also used.
