Subject: A.Word.A.Day--hyperbaton
hyperbaton (hye-PUR-buh-ton), noun, plural hyperbatons, hyperbata

The use, especially for emphasis, of a word order other than the
expected or usual one, as in "Bird thou never wert.'

[Greek huperbaton, from neuter of huperbatos, transposed, from huperbainein,
to step over : huper-, over, across + bainein, to step.]

This is one of my favorite sayings. Would it be an example of hyperbaton?

Thirty days hath September, April, June and Montana;
All the rest have cold weather,
Except in the summer which isn't often.

Different are they?

Per Silva Rhetoricae:

Anastrophe is most often a synonym for hyperbaton, but is occasionally referred to as a more specific instance of hyperbaton: the changing of the position of only a single word.

so anastrophe is hyperhyperbaton?

Or either hypohyperbaton, one.

so anastrophe is hyperhyperbaton?

So AnnaStrophic, in promoting 'anastrophe' is a hyperhyperbatonhyper? :)
