    The document provides examples of kennings, which are poetic devices that use two nouns to indirectly describe another noun. Several pairs of nouns are given alongside their answers, such as "sea-pancake" meaning a manta ray, "potato-cylinders" meaning tater tots, and "cow-juice" meaning milk. These examples demonstrate how kennings creatively describe everyday objects and concepts without directly naming them.
