Are you a Dactyl?

[abu nuwas]

I just found an example saying 'crocodile' is cretic, but the dictionary does not show the two accents, only the first.

Simply as it stands, to me, it is a dactyl. But if I repeat it, it becomes cretic: Crocodile crocodile... Even then, it is a bit like a fifth column dactyl...

.I think most sounds live in a kind of hierarchy, and have to, metaphorically, expose their rump when a more powerful gorilla-sound comes up.

I shall gladly give a tenner
To whomsoever writes an epic
Song of Hinayana ripples
And trochaic Ayrton Senna
Provided it is all in cretic
Yet mentions too, inverted nipples.
