| As the samples of the rhetorical games since "Manyoshu," we can show the instances such as 'ashihiki no' -> 'ashi wo hikizurinagara noboru' (to climb with dragging legs) -> 'yama' (a mountain), 'azusayumi' -> 'yumi no gen wo haru' (to stretch a bowstring) -> 'haru' (spring), and so on. |
『万葉集』以来の言語遊戯の例としては、「足引きの」→「足を引きながら登る」→「山」、「梓弓」→「弓の弦を張る」→「春」などの例を挙げることができる。 |
