ultima

Word's closing beat

Ultima is the last syllable of a word.

In linguistics and classical prosody, it contrasts with the penult (second-to-last) and antepenult (third-to-last).

The term appears mainly in discussions of Latin and Greek stress patterns: In Latin, stress never falls on the ultima.
