metonymy

notesMetonymy is a figure of speech that consists of the use of the name of one object or concept for that of another to which it is related, or of which it is a part, as "scepter" for "sovereignty," or "the bottle" for "strong drink," or "count heads (or noses)" for "count people." The following Thai poem demonstrates the use of ¹ÒÁ¹ÑÂ:
