calambur 14
Phonetic resource that, as our Open Dictionary tells us, changes or groups the syllables of a phrase or word so that the meaning of the originals varies. There is much discussion about the origin of the term. I am struck by the interpretation that it comes from the Italian calamus, (pen) and burlare (mock with the pen). It is known the calambur attributed to Quevedo calling lame to Queen Isabel de Borbón, first wife of Philip IV
