KENNINGS

Kennings~~~~~A kenning is a group of fancy words used to describe a word instead of just using the word itself. It is a more interesting and fun way to describe words because then the readers can try to imagine what we're trying to say. It's a type of metaphor style that they used a lot in old English.
