Re: THEORY: poetic devices [was: Hiatus in Artlangs]

J Cowan aniye:

 This sort of reminds me of how the _Kalevala_ has some lines where
 some of the words don't mean anything: they are modified versions
 of other words in the line that do mean something.  Sorry to be
 so vague, but I think JRRT talks about this somewhere.


 I think that icelandic does something like this as well.
The words that immediately come to mind are ón and
ár(?) .
