i’ve just posted a recommendation for expanding the terms Foot(prosody) & Scansion. i’ve noticed that Foot (prosody) uses scansion system for analyzing syllables. in the western wind text, scansion is explained right after rhythm. but this is not mentioned in wikipedia. the article for scansion refers to music & not poetry, even though they both depict syllables.
