Band Bend Bind Bond Bund
It is a form of word play without a name. Like anagrams, it involves recycling letters. The idea is to take a group of consonants, and see how many vowels you can plug in. Some groups work with all five vowels. The words then band into a five member band of brothers, connected by a vowel movement. Bee space enn dee is such a combination. It produces band, bend, bind, bond, and bund.
Band is a musical group, a wedding band, or, in today’s trifecta challenge, an occasion for unity. Bend is a curve in the road. It can be a noun, or a verb. The same is true for bind and bond, except that sometimes a bond pays interest.
Bund is the only foreigner in the bunch. In German, Bund is a political group. In Hindi, a bund is “1. An embankment or dike, 2. A street running along a harbor or waterway.”
Bee is a versatile consonant. The combination of bee space enn (ban, Ben, bin, bon, bun) works. The same is true for bee space dee (bad, bed, bid, bod, bud). Pictures toady are from “The Special Collections and Archives,Georgia State University Library”.

I think that we can all appreciate word play and “vowel movements”. Thanks for linking up with your endlessly thought-provoking posts.
Consonants constipate.
Your knowledge is captivating.
An interesting retrospective with photos of times past. I used to joke with my mom about how everything used to only be black and white.
Interesting post, I loved the photos too
Fascinating. As others have said, you’ve chosen some great images to accompany your prose. As Cobbie says above–it’s always a pleasure to read your thought-provoking posts.
Love the photography and the perspective on word formation.
