 namhy-pambi/ ? CtERicus Rusxicus. 



[Sir John Stoddart, in his article " Grammar " 

 (Ency. Metropolitana, vol. i. p. 118.), remarks, that the 

 word " Namhrj-pamhy seems to be of modern fahrication, 

 and is particularly intended to describe that style of 

 poetry which affects the infantine simplicity of the 

 nursery. It would perhaps be difficult to trace any 

 part of it to a significant origin."]
