Aruz
Appearance
Aruz wezni, or aruz prosody, is a kind of Turkic poetic rhythm. The earliest founder of this versification system was the Arab linguist al-Khalil ibn Ahmad, who used the ancient name of his hometown "Aruz" to name it. There were 16 kinds of modalities of aruz at first. Later Persian scholars added 3 kinds. For example, the Turki long poem Happiness and Wisdom from the 11th century was written using a modality called "Mutaqallip".[1]
