• Ballad — Carry a compressed event sequence in narrative verse or song through recurrent, performance-compatible form, while distinguishing traditional, literary, broadside, and later popular-song senses.
• Hyleme — A transmedial, logically standardized minimal state- or action-bearing unit extracted from one concrete narrative variant for sequence reconstruction and comparison.
• Personification — Represent an abstraction, object, place, force, or nonhuman being as a person or person-like agent so body, voice, intention, and social role make the target imaginatively present.
• Pyrrhic (Metrical Foot) — A two-position metrical foot scanned short–short in quantitative verse or weak–weak in accentual-syllabic notation, also called a dibrach and disputed as an independent foot in English prosody.
