  INT296b Nicholas Mavromoustakos & Joseph Demma   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Kennings can be defined as two word Anglo-Saxon metaphors, used to symbolically identify creatures, objects, and phenomena, as a type of expressive imagery, which avoids naming the subject directly.
Kennings can also be used to avoid excessive repetition of names and to create an elaborate set of images in the reader’s mind.
Other kennings used in this work of literature are the following: “gold-friend,” referring to a lord who distributes riches to loyal men of his land; “earth-pit,” a ditch in the ground, probably a grave; “water-way” referring to the sea; and “dwelling-place,” the earth in which we live.

 Kenning   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Kenning is derived from the Old Norse word "kenna" - to know, perceive.
It is a device used very frequently in Old English and Old Norse poetry, in which a compound, oftentimes indirect term is used to replace a common one: "whale-way" for the sea, "wave-horse" for a ship, "bone-house" for body, "heath-walker" for stag, "shoulder-companion" for a sword.
Old English is known for the directness of its speech, so it should be remembered that kennings were mostly employed by scops during performance, and not by the average woman or man during everyday conversation.
