The most common feet in English are the iamb, trochee, dactyl, and anapest. The reverse of an iamb is called a trochee. In this respect, a trochee is the reverse of an iamb. For example, it means trochee in Sanskrit prosody. Each half-line had exactly six syllables, and each line ended in a trochee. The sixth foot is either a spondee or a trochee. The sixth foot is either a spondee or a trochee ("daa-duh"). The first five feet of the line are dactyls; the sixth a trochee. This line begins with a trochee, changing the rhythm from rising to falling. Even so, the dominant foot throughout the poem is the trochee.
