kilozhofé, v. To ken; to euphemistically, epithetically, or metaphorically refer to something with a compound word. Popular in many forms of poetry, these rarely go beyond two words in Lilitika. Typically these involve possessive relationships, as otherwise the word would collapse into an agglutination, which has different metrical implications.

Amorilezría'l dzúneitu "love-chaser of knowledge" = "chaser of knowledge's love" = "philosopher"
