	Introduction to Dactylic Hexameter
		In rhythmic terms, the two short syllables are equivalent in tempo to the long syllable, just as in music two half notes equal one whole note (or two eighths equal one quarter, and so on).
		Syllables are usually divided between a vowel and a single consonant: vi-rum, not vir-um.
		A final syllable ending in a vowel may be omitted from the meter before a word beginning with a vowel (or an h-).

	Hebrew Syllable Classification
		A syllable is called “open” when it does not end with a “stopping” sound; otherwise it is “closed” (thus “ma” is an open syllable but “mat” is a closed syllable).
		Thus Cholem Vav would be an unchangeably long vowel whereas a Cholem would be called a regular long vowel.) Reduced vowels are really a type of sheva, and may be considered as either part of the following syllable or as a syllable on their own.
		The first syllable is an open syllable since it does not end with a consonant.

		The word was formed in Middle English times as a compound of long and the noun life, plus the suffix –ed.
		This suffix, though identical in form to the past tense suffix, has a different function: to form adjectives from nouns, as in the words hook-nosed, ruddy-faced, and round-shouldered.
		The f in the middle, by a rule of earlier English phonology, was voiced between the two vowels to (v); eventually, the spelling became long-lived to reflect the pronunciation.
