	1985, 1987, 1991; McCarthy and Prince 1986, 1990; Prince 1991) that
	explain quantitative asymmetries between iambic and trochaic systems
	on the basis of a rhythmic iambic-trochaic law. The theory proposed
	here derives such asymmetries from two different rhythmic factors:
	moraic prominence-relations internal to heavy syllables, and avoidance
	of clash and lapse in sequences of moras. Firstly, it argues for
	a distinction between parsing feet and surface feet. Parsing feet
	draw from a symmetric foot inventory, based on two parameters: stressable
	element (mora vs. syllable), and headedness (iambic vs. trochaic).
	That is, the basic foot inventory is no longer governed by the iambic-trochaic
	law. Secondly, parsing feet are mapped into surface feet by rules
	that impose quantitative changes, or by stray adjunction, induced
	by strict prosodic layering. Thirdly, a rhythmic sub-theory defines
	filters that rule out clashes and lapses in sequences of moras or
	syllables, depending on the type of stressable element. It explains
	iambic-trochaic asymmetries with respect to lengthening and shortening,
	and an asymmetry with respect to directionality of iambic parsing.
	Evidence will be presented from T\"ubatulabal, ${\rm Yidin}^{{\rm y}}$
	, Araucanian, Chugach Alutiiq Yupik, Cayuga, Latin, and English.},
