A ketek is a form of holy Vorin poetry which reads the same forward and backward (allowing for changes in verb form), and is also divisible into five sections, each of which also expresses a complete thought.
Examples
“Above silence, the illuminating storms—dying storms—illuminate the silence above. ”
“Radiant / of birthplace / the announcer comes / to come announce / the birthplace of Radiants. ”
“Alight, winds approach deadly approaching winds alight. ”
