a term coined by Philip Davies Roberts to describe 'meaning conveyed through phonemic connotation limited to speakers of a particular language' (How Poetry Works: The Elements of English Poetry [Penguin, 1986]: 53-54). For example, the nonce-word 'oombaloo' has connotations of 'a billowing, clumpy' drawing rather than a pointy, spiked one.
