ah, I miss bridget96 and her charming obsession with figures of rhetoric! In honour of her quick-flighted conversational style I will add the subset of anapodoton :)
an'-a-po'-do-ton Gk. "without the main clause (apodosis)."
A figure in which a main clause is suggested by the introduction of a subordinate clause, but that main clause never occurs.
