Clarify

[edit]

"This form of antiptosisis related to the technique hendiadys; it is more or less the opposite of it. It is also related to the technique hypallage, except the governing noun becomes the adjective instead of the noun in regimen."

The hypallage explanation should be clarified.

1) It is not clear where the governing noun and the noun in regimen are -- in the antiptosis or in the hypallage?

2) Also, "noun in regimen" means "governing noun", so are these the same noun?

3) Finally, "noun in regimen" is an obscure phrase, well worth learning but not in online dictionaries or Wikipedia. Google yielded a nice explanation of "in regimen" at https://books.google.ch/books?id=I807AAAAcAAJ&pg=PA32&lpg=PA32&dq=%22in+regimen%22+grammar&source=bl&ots=tiWTbK9ken&sig=ACfU3U1DOJq9iHJro3Eh49FDcon61rYrIQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjhpqCa3pD4AhWDGuwKHRKBBAoQ6AF6BAgdEAM#v=onepage&q=%22in%20regimen%22%20grammar&f=false.
