Of course, there may be phrases that express the idea of one or the other, but I don't believe these phrases are "official" rhetorical devices.
Earlier, someone wrote that Hindi must have borrowed the word (=canon) from English. More likely, they are both descended from the same proto-Indoeuropean language, as was William Conrad.
