Τσιάττισμα, Atışma, etc

There's a lot more to say about this type of poetic dueling that is now protected as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO. E.g. one could think of it in comparison to 'battle rap'. Or, closer to home, to the type of competition, usually between Ashiks called 'Atışma' (interchangeable with the term Deyişmə in Azerbaijan).
