6 examples of antepenult in sentences

antepenult.

B. SPANISH VERSE ENDINGS An accented word is called aguda when it has the accent on the last syllable, e.g. verdad, luz, yo; llana (or grave) when it has the accent on the penult, e.g. trabajo, fruto; esdrújula when it has the accent on the antepenult, e.g. límpido, pájaro, pórtico.

In words accented on the antepenult (esdrújulas) or on a preceding syllable, only the accented syllable and the final syllable count for purposes of assonance.

Therefore, fábula and lágrimas assonate in á-a; trémulo and vértigo assonate in é-o. Words accented on the last syllable (agudas) cannot assonate with words accented on the penult (llanas), or with those accented on the antepenult (esdrújulas) or upon any preceding syllable.

Therefore, verte and duermes assonate in e-e; baile and parte assonate in a-e. Words llanas may assonate with words accented on the antepenult (esdrújulas).

Therefore, pórtico and olmos assonate in ó-o. For purposes of assonance little use is made of words accented on a syllable preceding the antepenult.
