Name

Obviously, the English common name for this genre is iambic poetry, not iambus (which properly referred to a single foot). The sources on the page are 2:1 against the present namespace. Is "iambus" now the preferred nomenclature in classical scholarship? or should this be moved? [It's the primary topic of iambic poetry and any confusion can be dealt with via hatnote.] — $Llywelyn II$ 14:23, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
