Andhadhi

Andhadhi (Tamil: அந்தாதி) is a unique kind of Tamil poetry constructed such that the last or ending word of each verse becomes the first word of the next verse. In some instances, the last word of the series of verses becomes the beginning of the very first verse, thus making the poem a true garland of verses. Andha(m) means "end" and '‘Adhi'’ means "beginning".[1] In Tamil Andhadhi was first sung by Karaikkal Ammeiyar.

For the Tamil film of the same name, see Andhadhi (film).

Examples of Andhadhi
gollark: <@237328509234708481> Thoughts?
gollark: (though since lua loves its strings-as-byte-arrays that wouldn't be great)
gollark: I mean, you could allow use of arrays of bytes (well, tables) if it's that awful.
gollark: Well, it's a useful feature, adding an option doesn't seem *too* awful since lua is stupid and has no dedicated byte buffer type, and wait I only have two things to say.
gollark: ... how else would it work? Magic autodetection?
