quadrisyllable

Quadrisyllable, kwod-ri-sil′a-bl n. a word consisting of four syllables.—adjs.

But Alexandrides lengthens the word into a quadrisyllable, and calls it ὠάριον.

The quadrisyllable has Joycean overtones: macneilehrer -- a run-on conjuring up two-headed television journalism, emanating from Washington and New York, dispassionate, in-depth and, in the words of one contributor, "gloriously boring."

Must be pronounced as a quadrisyllable.

Note the quadrisyllable ending, and compare EP II ix 41-42 'quis non Antiphaten Laestrygona deuouet? aut quis / munifici mores improbet Alcinoi?'.
