Poetic devices
Adukku Thodar (Repetition for emphasis)
“Suzhalum…suzhalum…”
Words like 'Suzhalum... suzhalum', 'Irulil... irulil', and 'Kadhari... kadhari' are repeated consecutively to enhance the haunting, echoing rhythm and emotional urgency.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Ninaindhae ganam karaigiren ariyaamalae”
The lines end with rhythmic rhyming suffixes '-alae' ('ariyaamalae', 'vidaikaanalae', 'theendalae'), creating a lyrical flow.
Simile / Metaphor
“Thuyarkkum thunbam thelindha neero”
Compares deep sorrow and grief to clear water ('thelindha neero'), evoking a sense of pure, transparent pain.
