Examples
Members of the families in Beowulf which we have reason to think historic bear names which alliterate the one with the other.
Note, that not only do the names alliterate, but the alliteration is perfect.
All consonants alliterate with themselves, though usually sh, sp, and st agree only with the same combination.
