ditsu n extemporaneous verse recited in the kulilísi, consisting of stanzas of four lines, at least two of which are rhymed, in a free meter.

The subject is usually courtship.
v [A; c] recite ditsus.
It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions. They have their place in heaven also.
