AI overview

I cannot write an accurate overview of alliteration based on the provided context, as the context discusses a Latin motto from the University of Glasgow and does not contain information about alliteration. To provide an accurate overview, I would need relevant source material about alliteration itself.

Alliteration is the repetition of syllable-initial consonant sounds between nearby words, or of syllable-initial vowels if the syllables in question do not start with a consonant. It is often used as a literary device. A common example is "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers".
