Outline
• rhythm:
      1. 1. nŭmĕrus (applied both to motion and sound: both sing. and pl.): whatever admits the measurement of our hearing is called r.: quidquid sub aurium mensuram aliquam cadit, n. vocatur, Cic. Or. 20, 67: a dactylic r., n. dactylicus, id. ib. 57, 191: to gesticulate regardless of r., extra numerum se movere, id. Parad. 3, 2, ad fin.; Hor.
      2. 2. mŏdus (esp. in poetry or music: both sing. and pl.): mournful r.s, flebiles m., Cic. Tusc. 1, 44, 106. Join: numerus et m., id. de Or. 1, 33, 151.
      3. 3. rhythmus: there is r. even in the movements of the body, r. etiam in corporis motu est, Quint. 9, 4, 50. (N.B.--Cic. only uses it as a Gk. word, but he employs the adj. rhythmicus of one who observes the laws of r., de Or. 3, 49, 190: for this we find also modulator, Hor. S. 1, 3, 130; v. modulation.)
