For verse in other category of group C itself, see C700s. We depart somewhat from the Boggs System in the C800s, since the computer does not need decimal extensions in order to find items (such as verse riddles) that straddle genres. For example, when Boggs calls for C880.200 to indicate a proverbial metaphor in verse, you might better label the item with two BNs: V200 for proverbial metaphor and C880 for a proverb in verse. No need to cross reference otherwise.
