inverted \bow above letters

[prefectF]

It would be great to be able to place an inverted \bow above letters to mark resolution (e.g. in Old English poetry), so a new command exactly like \bow but with the following differences/features:

(i) placed above the letters
(ii) with a downward opening
(iii) no clash with stress marks above

Thanks for your suggest. Could you provide an example code using (the not yet existing) \upperbow, please?

Sorry for the late reply, didn't get a notification for some reason... Here's an example (with \bow where I'd need \upperbow):

\metrics{p s x , p}{h\bow{eofo}n-r{\=i}-ces weard}
