makes a distinction between [right-headed feet and] Explanation: I would ignore "oscila" - it's just verbiage that's confusing the idea. I would say: Even without using the nomenclature *from* the foot inventory, the description makes a distinction between right-headed feet (such as iambs) and left-footed feet (such as trochees)'. |
