WHAT DOES CORREPTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Correption

In Latin and Greek poetry, correption is the shortening of a long vowel at the end of one word before a short vowel at the beginning of the next. Vowels next to each other in neighboring words are in hiatus. Homer uses correption in dactylic hexameter: ▪ Ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, Μοῦσα, πολύτροπον, ὃς μάλα πολλὰ πλάγχθη, ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπερσε· — Odyssey 1.2 ▪ Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. — translation by A.T. Murray Here the sequence η ε in bold must be pronounced as ε ε to preserve the long—short—short syllable weight sequence of a dactyl. Thus, the scansion of the second line is thus: πλαγχ θε, ε πει Τροι ης ι ε ρον πτο λι εθ ρο νε περ σε...
