Etymology: From homeo- + -phony; equivalent to the Ancient Greek ὅμοιος (hómoios, “similar”) + φωνή (phōnḗ, “sound”).
Senses: examples: text: It may be styled euphonic, because it seems to affect words solely for the sake of euphony, or, rather, homœophony, and on the mere ground of contiguity in location, although very remotely related in all other respects; so much so, that, in this way, great violence is sometimes done to the true grammatical construction.

Such homœophony is in full accordance with the genius of Hebrew poetry: we have a remarkable instance of it in iv. 2, שֶׁכֻּלָּם and וְשַׁכֻּלָּה: see also iv. 4; vi. 2; vii. 2 (3); viii. 6.
ref: 1862, Joseph Francis Thrupp, The Song of Songs: A Revised Translation with Introduction and Commentary, page 95:
text: hither and thither. It is better to supply “hither” (הֲלֹם before וַהֲלֹם), which might easily have fallen out from homœophony; or (with the Rabb. and Ges.) read the Inf. Abs. and render “were more and more broken up.”
