tshítelbré, v. To employ hyperbaton; to misplace a word for any poetic or rhetorical effect.

usage: By far the most common form of hyperbaton in Lilitika is the rearrangement of sentence structure from SOV to OVS, canonized to some extent in the Venrafivíai dialects by the emergence of person and number inflections on the verb. This device was popular in Zeyetaní Lilitika to such an extent that it eventually became a natural feature (a tshíbré) for many speakers in the fleet, and does not have a precursor in any known Oksírapho inscriptions. Other common forms of hyperbaton include Oksírapho-like separation of verb and mood particles, sentence-leading mood particles, and the use (in post-Illeran Sarasí) of Illeran-style postfix genitives.
