And ὁμοιτέλευτον or like endings, ὁμοιπρόφερον or alliteration, ἀναφορά, ἐπαναφορά or like sentence-beginnings, ἔμφασις  emphasis, πολυσύνδετον or many and, ὑπερβολή, or exaggeration, to heighten the sense, ἐπιζευχις ἐπιζευξις, or duplication, that is to say, the repetition of the same word in the same sense, ἐπιστροφή, or a turning upon or wheeling about, in which the repetition of the same word or words at the end of successive sentences,  repetitio, or repetition, in which the repetition of the same word or words irregularly in the same passage, μεσαρχία or beginning and middle repetition, μεσοτέλευτον or middle and end repetition, ἐπανάληψις or the repetition of the initial part of a clause or sentence at the end of that same clause or sentence, ἕτεροσις or exchange of accidence whether in tenses, pronouns, or in persons, and also a rhetorical question, in which a question is asked for a reason other than to get an answer.
