Commentary:	reveals the construction techniques by which the apparently seamless CSM texts were assembled using standard or preconstructed components. Rubrics are always added later; refrainless poems are zajaliased by the addition of refrains drawn from a common store; opening strophes relating the narrative to the refrain (glossing strophes which epxand the refrain, and linking strophes which echo it) are added to shorter poems, as are standard closing strophes of praise and thanks. Where there is discontinuity between opening and subsequent strophes, it can no longer be assumed that the opening strophes set the model. (YWMLS 82)
