Abstract.
This article presents a linguopoetic analysis of the images of Bambur and Khorud
found in Sharof Rashidov’s novella “The Song of Kashmir.” These two characters represent
contrasting poetic forces—Bambur as a constructive and life-giving figure, and Khorud as a
destructive and fatal one. Through their symbolic use, the inner dramatic tension of the story
and its deep poetic layers are revealed. The article explores the concept of the poetonym,
emphasizing the poetic and semantic significance of phytopoetonims and zoomyphopoetonims.
Keywords:
poetonym, deopoetonym, phytopoetonym, zoomyphopoetonym, linguopoetics,
destructive image, constructive image, Khorud, Bambur.
I.INTRODUCTION.
In literary texts, uncovering the semantic load of poetic images plays a crucial role in
understanding the author’s aesthetic intentions. Sharof Rashidov’s novella “The Song of
Kashmir” is rich in such symbolic imagery. This article provides a comparative analysis of the
central opposing images of Bambur and Khorud. Through these characters, the author
symbolically presents the forces of life and death, good and evil, creation and destruction.
II. THEORITICAL FOUNDATION
.
Poetonims are figurative names in literary texts that carry symbolic and functional meaning.
They reflect the author's intention and add semantic depth. Poetonims can be classified into
types such as phytopoetonims (related to plants), zoomyphopoetonims (related to animals), and
deopoetonims (related to natural phenomena or destructive forces). In this article, Bambur is
studied as a zoomyphopoetonim and Khorud as a destructive deopoetonim.
Analysis of the image of Bambur.
Bambur represents a positive force, a symbol of protection
and awakening. This character is depicted through the image of bees. Traditionally, bees
symbolize diligence, purity, and communal harmony. Sharof Rashidov personifies these
qualities in Bambur. His call—“Friends, stand firm like mountains”—is a poetic call to unity
and resistance. Thus, Bambur is a constructive zoomyphopoetonim symbolizing rebirth and
collective strength.
Analysis of the image of Khorud.
Khorud symbolizes a black, invisible, creeping destructive
force that clings to the roots, leaves, and stems of flowers, causing them unbearable pain. This
figure stands in opposition to life, beauty, and love—represented by flowers. As such, Khorud
functions as a destructive deopoetonim that dominates and destroys phytopoetonims. It reflects
psychological tension, oppression, and existential dread within the poetic narrative.

Bambur and Khorud represent opposing poetic forces within the literary system:
- Bambur: light, life, awakening, unity.
- Khorud: darkness, death, destruction, fragmentation.
Bambur displays heroic traits, defending his people. Khorud acts covertly, attacking life from
its roots. Bambur, as a constructive zoomyphopoetonim, contrasts Khorud, a destructive force
dominating over the phytopoetonims.
IV. POETICS AND SEMANTICS.
Through Bambur, the author emphasizes values such as love, friendship, and collective effort.
He is the poetic embodiment of a sincere call for unity. In contrast, Khorud represents hidden,
painful forces. Together, they form an archetypal poetic dualism: light vs. darkness, life vs.
death.
7. CONCLUSION.
Sharof Rashidov creates a deep poetic structure through the use of poetonyms. Bambur and
Khorud are not merely narrative tools but also represent the author’s aesthetic and philosophical
outlook. Bambur symbolizes creative power and renewal, while Khorud reflects destructive,
oppressive forces.
