The word “litter” is remarkably versatile in literature, conveying several distinct images. In many works it denotes a portable carriage or bed used to transport individuals—from carrying emperors and dignitaries in stately processions ([1], [2], [3], [4]) to conveying characters in moments of distress or urgency ([5], [6], [7], [8]). At times, the term shifts to describe a scattered collection of objects, whether it is a haphazard pile of papers cluttering a desk ([9], [10], [11], [12]), bits of straw and leaves forming the ground’s cover ([13], [14]), or various accumulations of miscellaneous items ([15]). Moreover, “litter” is also employed to mean a brood of young animals, epitomizing warmth and vitality as seen in descriptions of puppies and cubs ([16], [17], [18], [19]). This range of usage—spanning from physical conveyance to assemblies of things or offspring—demonstrates the rich adaptability of the term in different narrative contexts.
