Khlebnikovian

In fact, the scheme of generation of the two lines of Khlebnikovian poetry was described above.

At that time the publishers intended to entitle this collection with the neologism “Miristel,” a title that only Khlebnikov could have created. It was changed to The Milk of Mares probably because the latter sounded more Hylaean while still retaining a Khlebnikovian quality.

Of the four stanzas in “Night,” the last has been pronounced totally unintelligible by one researcher, and indeed certain lines are marked by a kind of Khlebnikovian detachment of words from meaning.
