Pour <i>Sir Gawain</i>, il s’agit bien d’une faute de frappe.
Quant aux allitérations, je reste perplexe. Je me suis permise de remettre ici le passage dont tu m’as fait part, extrait de <i>The Monter and the Critics</i> :
[citation]Alliteration in this meter is the agreement of the _stressed elements_ in beginning with the _same consonant_, or in beginning with _no consonant_ [note 5].
[normal]avec en note :[/normal]
Phonetically speaking : thus _ph_ will alliterate with _f_, but _sh_ will not alliterate with _s_ ; _yes_ will alliterate with _use_. In Old English, _st_, _sp_, _sc_ are regarded as "consonantal diphthongs", each having an individual character. Each can only alliterate with itself, as _stone_ with _stiff_, or _strong_. In other cases only the first of a group of initial consonants is compulsorily repeated.[/citation]
Dans une autre ressource internet, <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_English_poetry" target="_new">wikipedia.org</a>, j’ai lu que :
[citation]Two syllables alliterate when they begin with the same sound ; all vowels alliterate together, but a consonant cluster as “st” only alliterates with the same cluster _ so “st-” does not alliterate with “s-”.[/citation]
Peut-être, en effet, une différence de tradition. En tout cas, maintenant je sais ce qu’en pensait Tolkien ;-p
