English to Arabic Other History

An Imushagh poem usually, though not invariably, carries the same rhyme, or rather assonance, throughout its length in the final syllables of the lines. This is made easy by the great latitude allowed in rhyme.An assonance such as is contained in the words denta, amser/ia, teg/a, or in the words iiniri, ikki, is readily accepted. Even consonantal assonance is permitted, e.g. auilan and egen, or tusid and ged, are regarded as true assonances, it being required in this last case only that the vowels preceding the final consonant should be somewhat alike.Under these circumstances it is not surprising that the Imushagh are facile makers, more especially as they sometimes discard even consonantal assonance and use blank verse.
