Transferred meaning (ko‘chim)
A ko‘chim is the art of using a word with its meaning carried over to something else, that is, using the word in a figurative sense. In the phrases “golden autumn” or “stone-liver” the autumn is not really gold and the liver is not stone, yet such expressions make speech moving. A ko‘chim is close to a simile, but in a simile both things are named, whereas in a ko‘chim only one is expressed. Majoz is expressing a vaguer idea through the features of things known to everyone; Gulxaniy showed human qualities through animal characters. Ramz (symbol) is expressing an abstract quality through something that has this quality: in classical literature wine is a symbol of life, the flower of the beloved, the eagle of pride, the ant of diligence. Istiora is a condensed simile, in which the inner logical link matters more than outward likeness.
