"Stephan Dedalus in James Joyce's Ulysses (novel) uses the term to comment on the time being eleven o'clock, with eleven being a proparoxytone: "Why striking eleven? Proparoxyton. Moment before the next, Lessing says''." [1]"

Isn't Eleven stressed on the penultimate ? (e'leven). So doesn't that make eleven a paroxytone rather than a proparoxytone ? Or did eleven use to have an additional syllable (e'levenØ or e'leØven) that was dropped at some point ? Or does the final N count as a mora ? --Anne97432 (talk) 09:09, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
