Alliteration Rules

New 24 Sep 2022 Asked by j-waffles 33 Comments

Alliteration means that a group of words start with the same sound. Often times this means the same letter, but not always. For example “cat”, “Quail”, and “Kidney” are all alliterative, although they each start with different letters. Some poets and linguists also argue that vowels are all alliterative with each-other, however that part is up for debate. Is there a reason Treacherous Trapezist only pays attention to spelling, rather than how a word sounds? “Circle of Confinement” passes the definition of alliteration according to Treacherous Trapezist, but it’s not actually alliterative.


I understand that Treacherous Trapezist’s definition doesn’t match the English definition, but it’s easier to track and identify, and that won the day. Magic-ese and English don’t always line up.
