This page is a placeholder. It exists so that the structure does; the
text will follow, and will be checked by a teacher of the field before
it is called finished.
Every syllable ends in a tsheg, so every syllable can be counted, and a line of Tibetan verse is defined by its count. The common lines are seven and nine syllables, read as pairs with a closing foot of three; the ornate register uses eleven, thirteen and fifteen. The pages here will teach the counting, the feet, and how to hear a line.
