page 47 note 1 One would like to know more of classical Tamil versification. According to the brief sketch by J. Filliozat in Renou–Filliozat, L'Inde classique, ii (Paris, 1953), 717–19, something akin to iambic shortening takes place in conditions determined purely by the quantitative pattern, and in the absence of any dynamic ictus.
