In PGP since 2021Description
Poetry in an unusual mixture of Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic. One side appears to be entirely Hebrew. The poem on the other side alternates between Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic from one hemistich to the next, inverting the order of the languages from verse to verse: ABBAABBAABBA, where A = Hebrew hemistich and B = Judaeo-Arabic hemistich. Every verse, whether ending in Judaeo-Arabic or in Hebrew, rhymes on חו.
