That doesn't make any sense. How will challenging them more make them come up with more creative kennings? If they given themself more freedom when they need it, it will allow more creativity.

Kenning- A
kenning is a metaphorical phrase, used in Anglo-Saxon poetry to replace a concrete noun.
There is nothing about it being 2 words, or about it having a hyphen in between. That is not to mention, I'm taking Brit. Lit. this year, and there's been plenty of kennings in the literature we are reading that use more than 2 words (and hyphens are rare). So, yeah, show me where it says that I am wrong on this, and I will gladly accept it.

Those weren't my intentions, sry.
You never said 2 words was a rule, or it being hyphenated, you just gave examples like that (even your own definition doesn't say that, the closest it comes to saying that is when it says it is usually compound). If you want to only use 2 word hyphenated kennings that is fine, but you never said that so I didn't know. Basically I just stated a fact about kennings in general, and you told me "no", without saying you meant just for the purposes of your game here. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

What the heck? SAME, exact thing here. I'm guessing you're reading the Tain Bo or whatever it's called, too. You must live in PA (Each state has it's own curriculum)

Same here, actually, and I live in NH. We're just all taking British Literature. Here that is rather English III Level 4 (ap-junior class) or English IV Level 3 (senior class). I'm taking the former.
