Doesn't have much use, really, just an interesting quirk of the language.

true but can be used to get attention of some people & sometimes even make them marvel or laugh etc elk city Kansas is a snaky tickle ---- Supplementary observation

In pre-Christian religions, and even in Christianity in the case of Gnosticism and some Neo-Platonism, words were held to have magical powers. (This is why a witch performs her magic by casting spells, and why she finds those spells in a grimoire (Old French for a grammar book. It is also why the weak but effective magic of Fairies was called glamour(grammar again), though glamour has now taken on a modern meaning).

Words with special properties - such as wordsquares, wordcolumns (Abracadabra), or palindromes - were considered to be powerful magic charms.

The palindrome

νιψον ανομηματ ...

is thoroughly Christian, and there is reason to believe that it was valued highly as a prayer.
