Isn't it there in all languages?

palaporul orusol (one word several meanings) and oruporul palasol (several words for one meaning) are taught in tamil.

Silaedai is a form of poetry in which words with different meaning are used to write a poem which has several meanings (in total).

There are few very interesting poems I know. I couldn't recollect very well to post it now. I will do later.
