Book: Tahamisin Waƙaƙƙen Ƙa'idojin Rubutun Hausa (A Tahamisi Expansion of
the Poeticized Rules of Hausa Orthography)
Pages: 171
Overview: This book is a Tahamisi
- a literary expansion in which three lines are added to each couplet of an
existing poem, transforming it into a quintain. The work builds upon Professor
Aliyu Muhammad Bunza's original composition, in which he poetically rendered
the rules of Hausa orthography. Professor Bunza's poem covered topics such as
consonants, vowels, and the principles of compounding and separating Hausa
words, with each stanza structured as a couplet. The authors of this book have
taken that original work and expanded it by adding three new lines to each
couplet, recasting it entirely into quintains. Through this process of tahamisi,
they offer both a creative reinterpretation and a critical engagement with the
foundational poetic work on Hausa writing conventions.
