In the introduction to this article, the author recalls his relationship with Miroslav Cervenka. He then recapitulates several Czech attempts at typology of the 'metre types' of Jiri Levy, Roman Jakobson, and Josef Hrabak, and recalls how Cervenka dealt with them in the late 1960s. In the next part of the article, he describes Spanish syllabotonic writing, which, he argues, confirms Cervenka's interpretation of the syllabotonic-writing code.
