A kenning is a saying or an expression.  In most languages, such sayings have meanings beyond their literal translations.  What distinguishes a kenning from a saying is that it has many levels of meaning concealed within itself and its associations.  The use of such kennings was common among Druids and Filidh in ancient times.*p*Searles*p**br*1 X 2 Willows wrote,*br*: Excuse my naivete (it won't be the last time, either), but *br*: could you explain that term to me in school-book English?*br*:*br*: Thanx*br*: Dan*br*:*br*: Searles wrote,*br*: : The "cattle of Tethra" is a "kenning."  *br*
