antiptosis
Examples
“As a vocative form⟳, deus is a clear violation of established norms. The grammarians occasionally encountered apparent examples of such vocatives in the texts they taught, and they explained them either by invoking the figure⟳ of antiptosis, in which the “correct⟳” case is replaced by another, or by appeal to the concept of euphonia.”
