- דּוּ-טוּר [בית של שתי שורות נחרזות, ובעיקר שתי השורות הנחרזות החותמות couplet את הסונֵטה השייקספירית] האקדמיה ללשון העברית - by Dana David Kogan
- Example sentence(s)
- מתוך הבלדה האנגלית-סקוטית, "שתי האחיות" בתרגומו של נתן אלתרמן].
שתים הן אחיות. הן ישבו בחדרן.
בא-הגיע פרש, נכבדות דבר בן.
הוא שחר הבכירה בצמידים של זהב.
אך את זו הצעירה מכל הון הוא אהב.
וימר לבכירה. התחמץ לבבה.
ותקנה היא בזו אחותה הנאוה.
ותאמר הבכירה לצעירה: "לו נצא נא
ונראה ספינות-אבא שטות אל הנה".
בידה הלבנה כלבנת חבצלת
היא אחזה. לנהר היא אותה מובלת.

- A couplet is a stanza (or even a poem) consisting of two lines. These need not rhyme, nor be the same length, but can be. If there is no enjambment at the end of the second line, it can be called a closed couplet (the opposite being an open couplet), especially if this is a recurring pattern. The Poetry Archive

- A minimális versszak a sorpár. Kedvelt volt a régi angol irodalomban, a Shakespeare-szonett végén is szerepel; a magyar irodalomban Juhász Gyula alkalmazta előszeretettel. Sajátos sorpár a disztichon és az epodus (két különböző hosszúságú, pl. 6-os és 4-es jambikus sor, ld. Horatius verseit), de ezek általában nem képeznek önmagukban versszakot.

- Δίστιχο ονομάζεται ένας συνδυασμός δυο στίχων, με ομοιοκαταληξία ή χωρίς, που συνηθίζεται σε παλαιότερες μορφές ποίησης, όπως η δημοτική ποίηση, η κρητική ποίηση και οι αμανέδες. PEGAS - by Maria Pentsa
- Example sentence(s)
- Στην ποίηση του Στέφανου Σαχλίκη συναντάμε την πρώτη χρήση της ομοιοκαταληξίας στην νεοελληνική λογοτεχνία: κάποια ποιήματά του αποτελούνται από ενότητες τεσσάρων ή και περισσότερων ομοιοκατάληκτων στίχων, ενώ σε άλλα εμφανίζονται ενότητες ομοιοκατάληκτων διστίχων. Στον 14ο και τον 15ο αι. τα ομοιοκατάληκτα συνυπήρχαν με τα ανομοιοκατάληκτα έργα, ενώ από τον 16ο αιώνα κυριάρχησε η ομοιοκαταληξία με βασική οργανωτική μονάδα το ομοιοκατάληκτο δίστιχο. - Wikipedia
by Maria Pentsa - Στην αρχή του αμανέ οι λέξεις αφού χωρίζονται σε φθόγγους και συλλαβές με παρατεταμένη κλιμάκωση και ποικιλία εκφώνησης, έτσι που μόλις ένα δίστιχο να χρειάζεται πέντε λεπτά της ώρας για να αποδοθεί, στη συνέχεια αρχίζει η επανάληψη πάλι του ίδιου διστίχου σε ταχύτερο ρυθμό με συνοδεία και άλλων αμανετζήδων όπου και οι λέξεις πλέον γίνονται κατανοητές. - Wikipedia
