Syllabization

Poetry at large, or as composed of rhythm, rhyme, versification, and perhaps syllabization, may be said to differ from prose, as what is sung does from what is said.

The following syllabizations may serve to recall a few of the leading forms: 1. Ché-pêw, ché-pêw, wé-oo, wé-oo, wé-oo.

I do not wish to maintain that no scholars have recognized variation in syllabization—on the contrary, expressions like “mostly” or “more often than” and discussions of different syllabizations in different styles can be cited—but only wish to point out that the frameworks of such analysts absolutely rule out such comments as invalid, since the frameworks are static and idiolectal (in every case known to me).
