hypallage - the interchange in syntactic relationship between two terms. "You are become dead to the law" is hypallage for "the law has become dead for you".
That's what Scripps-Howard said, anyway.

hypercaust: a system of central heating in ancient Roman buildings An underground furnace had an elongated chimney beneath a tile floor. Surprising that since the plan was used in Roman Britain, that it was not used after the Romans left.

I thought that was hypocaust. So called from the location of the heating source, below the dwelling space.

Iany people visit the Chor Minar at Hauz Khas Enclave, but none bothers to visit Idgah. Not many people know that a structure called Idgah exists at a park close by in the Haux Khas Enclave area in the south of Delhi. Chor Minar was built by Allaudin Khilji to teach criminals a lesson by hanging their severed heads from the openings in the monument that is so clearly visible in the Hauz Khas area of south Delhi. The main purpose of the Khilji king was to display the severed heads of the Mongols who had descended on Delhi and forced him to flee further south to the Qutab complex which he made his stronghold. When there were no more Mongols left, he turned to the thieves in the kingdom displaying their heads as a severe deterrent to crimes of all sorts.
