<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4403458, member: 72790&quot;]OK, you asked for it. Another lesson. First the term is antEpenult, not antIpenult, meaning BEFORE the penult, not, against the penult. Secondly in some languages the accent can fall on the last, ULTIMATE, syllable (rare in Latin, more common in Greek). More often it is on the syllable just before the ultimate (Latin, paene, almost), the penultimate (almost the last syllable) and if falls on the third syllable from the end of the word it is the antepenult, literally the one before the almost last (syllable). In English we have the word penultimate meaning something in a list that is the next to the last one. Also, in English , the accent rarely falls on a syllable that is the fourth one from the end and we often have trouble pronouncing such words. e.g., irrevocable. I trust I have made myself perfectly obscure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
