- Borbangnadyr (Борбаңнадыр) is a trill reminiscent of birds and traveling brooks, made by a light rapid quivering of the lips.
- Ezenggileer (Эзеңгилээр) is a pulsating style, attempting to mimic the rhythms of horseback riding. It is named after the Tuvan word for stirrup, ezengi.
- Chylandyk (Чыландык) is an unusual sound of low undertones mixed with the high Sygyt whistle. It has also been described as the “chirping of crickets.”
- Dumchuktaar (Думчуктаар) could be best described as “throat humming. ” The singer creates a sound similar to sygyt using only the nasal passage. The word means to sing through the nose (dumchuk).
For the purposes of today's prompt, imagine how your haiku would sound if read, or chanted aloud. A haiku read slowly so that it is savoured. Accordingly, how about writing a haiku that needs to be read aloud, through the rhythm or sounds of the words. Then link it up below on Carpe Diem. Use the meadows and chants heard in throat-singing to inspire you, elements, perhaps, of shaman haiku techniques to put yourself in the 'mood' to write your haiku, as explained in the previous shaman haiku post. Following is my effort.
