(ii) A2 _b_, with the _second_ thesis strengthened (–́ × | –́ ×̀). Most of the cases of this type occur in the first hemistich; when they occur in the second hemistich the measure –́ ×̀ is usually a proper name, not a real compound. Examples: _Gréndles gū́ðcræ̀ft_ Beow. 127, _lḗofa Bḗowùlf_ Beow. 855; with resolution of the first arsis, _gámol ond gūðrḕow_ Beow. 58; with resolution of the second arsis, _béorna béaducræ̀ft_ An. 219; with resolution of both, _séfa swā séarogrìm_ Beow. 595; with resolution of the strengthened thesis, _lónd ond lḗodb[`y]rig_ Beow. 2472; with resolution of both the second arsis and thesis _mǣ́g ond mágoþègn_ Beow. 408.[74] This type may still further be varied by a first thesis of two or more syllables, _ū́t on þæt ī́glànd_ An. 15, _fólc oððe frḗobùrh_ Beow. 694, _réste hine þā rū́mhèort_ Beow. 1800; by resolution of the first arsis, _glídon ofer gārsècg_ Beow. 515, of the second, _lā́d ofer lágustrḕam_ An. 423, _sýmbel on sélefùl_ Beow. 620; by resolution of the thesis with secondary accent, _éahtodon éorlscìpe_ Beow. 3173; the anacrusis is rarely found, as _gesā́won séledrḕam_ Beow. 2253, and double alliteration (in the first hemistich) is the rule in this form of type A. (iii) A2 _ab_, with both theses strengthened –́ ×̀ | –́ ×̀, _bā́nhū̀s blṓdf[`=a]g_ An. 1407, _gū́ðrìnc góldwlànc_ Beow. 1882, _ǣ́nlī̀c ánsȳ̀n_ Beow. 251; with resolution of first arsis, _wlítesḕon wrǽtlī̀c_ Beow. 1651, and of the second arsis, _glḗawmṑd góde lḕof_ An. 1581, _gū̀ðswèord géatolī̀c_ Beow. 2155, and of both first and second arsis, _héorowèarh hételī̀c_ Beow. 1268; with resolution of the first (strengthened) thesis, _nȳ́dwràcu nī́ðgrìm_ Beow. 193; with resolution of both the first arsis and the first thesis, _býrelàde brȳ́d gèong_ Gū. 842; with resolution of the second strengthened thesis, _égeslī̀c éorðdràca_ Beow. 2826; with resolution of the first and second thesis, _fýrdsèaru fūslìcu_ Beow. 232. This form of the type has also as a rule double alliteration. =The sub-type A3= is type A with alliteration on the second arsis only and is limited almost entirely to the first hemistich. A strengthened thesis occurs only after the second arsis; this sub-type might therefore be designated A3 _b_.
