Ahhh. Hm, so are we talking sacred texts like the Mysteries or what? Cause I just realised that most of the examples I'm thinking of are still like...Homer and Hesiod. We barely have fragments about stuff like the Eleusian Mysteries - and even those weren't supposed to exist, so examplesplease.
I know some French, my vocabulary isn't the hottest but I could handle it otherwise. `
tiganusi linked me so I figure he knows what he's on about.
Oh gods, those 'omg degradation of the language' sorts. Well, okay, so to try and rephrase that: within the niche, people can call it whatever they like. But let's say that a piece of 'prosetry' suddenly goes huge and shows up everywhere - do we now accept the original niche's term of 'prosetry' or do we push it into an existing category just for commercial purposes?
