Sorry for being slow on the uptake here, but I actually just looked this up 
in webster's.  What to my surprise, but the Hebrew verse of the Psalms is 
definition number two!

Number one is from the Greek AKROSTICHOS, a construction, usually in verse, 
where a certain letter of each line spells the name, title or motto of the 
subject of the verse.

Is anyone aware of any examples of this construction in Greek, or any other 
langauge for that matter?
