Dactyl ( other Greek: δάκτυλος “finger”) is the three-parted size of the ancient metric from one long and two short syllables following it; in the syllabic-tonic versification, a foot from one stressed syllable and two unstressed behind it corresponds to it.

The most common sizes of the Russian syllabo-tonic dactyl are two-foot (in the 18th century ), four- and three-foot (since the 19th century ).
The name comes from Greek. δάκτυλος - “finger”. The finger consists of three phalanges, the first of which is longer than the rest. Similarly, the dactylic foot consists of three syllables, of which the first is stressed, and the rest are unstressed.
The “working theory of the origin of rhythm”, popular in the 1920s, associated dactyl with shock meters, in particular with a hammer beat meter [1] .
