Minstrels

In folk literature, it is the reciprocal poetry of the minstrels. There are two meanings at the root of the word: 1. To throw: It means to throw a word at each other. 2. Conversation: To talk to each other, to exchange words. The old form of the word is Aytisma. 

At least two minstrels compete for poetry on their own or in front of experts and listeners within the framework of certain rules. They try each other, trying to stand out with their mastery.

Meetings where the competition in the fight is replaced by mutual praise and acquaintance is called hospitality.
