>Latin avoids stress domains ("metrical feet") with a light stressed
syllable at the end.
Can you expand and clarify please? I am puzzled by your wording. Do you
mean Latin avoids placing light stressed syllables in the last position of a
metrical foot? If so, you can quickly be proved wrong by almost any line of
hexameter verse, or almost every pentameter of Ovid - so I suspect I have
misunderstood you.
We must also remember that the only native verse structure in Latin is
Saturnian verse, which is stress timed, not syllable timed. All the verse
structures that rely on oppositions of heavy and light syllables are
borrowed directly from Greek.
