Antati
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A style of verse in Tamil poetry
For the Tamil film of the same name, see Andhadhi (film).
Antati (Tamil: அந்தாதி, romanized: Antāti) is a unique kind of Tamil poetry, constructed such that the last or ending word of each verse becomes the first word of the next verse.[1]
In some instances, the last word of the series of verses becomes the beginning of the very first verse, thus making the poem "a true garland of verses". The term is a portmanteau, since in Tamil, anta(m) means "end", and ati means "beginning".[2] The Shaiva saint Karaikal Ammaiyar was the first poet to compose an antati.[2]
