In our prose texts nothing occurs worth noticing that could be called 

 alliteration. A sort of rhyme is sometimes produced in the song-lines by 

 repeating the same word at the end of two or three lines following each 

 other. Of assonance used as a metrical help but few instances can be 

 found. 



Anaholiithon consists in a change of syntactic construction within the 

 range of the same period. Thus we sometimes notice a change of subjects 

 in sentences following each other, where no intimation of such a change 

 going to occur is given by pronouns or other words.

 daughter, then (she) hore a child (and he) lived with her quite a 

 ivhile, then (he) left her .... 77, 1. 2. Cf. 78, 1. 



Anaphora, or repetition of a term or phrase, even of a sentence, gen- 

 erally with interposition of some words, is more frequently met with in 

 Klamath than any other rhetoric figure. Emphasis is the main cause for 

 anapliora, and short, monosyllabic pronouns are chiefly figuring in these 

 constructions. The repetition of personal pronouns has been previously 

 alluded to.
