OP annastrophic
forgive my lack of on the ballness here. the anastrophe thing would be the one where the subject and verb (forming one group) and the object (forming another group) are inverted, as in "a good beer, guinness is". the inversion thing would be, if i'm following, when the subject and verb swap places as in "a good beer, IS GUINNESS". in which case the second example would be an anastrophic inversion? an inversion inside an anastrophe?
let me know if i've got it!
