 abstract = {Alliteration is one of the most significant traits of Old English poetry. The alliterating words usually have the same initial sound, as infēasceaft funden. / Hē þæs frōfre gebād(Beo 7) discussed at the beginning of the preceding chapter. This is, however, not the whole story. Although they share the same initial consonant,stān‘stone’ andsand‘sand’ do not form an alliterating pair in Old English verse. On the other hand,æþelingas‘nobles’ andellen‘courage,’ which have different initial vowels, are regarded as an alliterating pair. What exactly makes two sounds suitable for alliteration? As we saw},
