Re: The turned-down way of speaking

"Turned-down" is indeed translationese nonsense; for rhetorical terms, the
modern entry-point is Lausberg's monumental *Handbuch*, ed. 4, where pp.
456-460 divide *oratio* into 3 parts: *or. soluta* (Pars. 916-920), *or.
perpetua* (921-922) & *periodos* (923-947).  *Or. perp*. corresponds to *lexis
eiromenê* & *periodos* to *lexis katestrammenê* (p. 458), or *oratio vincta
atque contexta*.  (Sidebar: How many in the Group have noticed his
hyper-Teutonic *Inhaltsverzeichnis*, which (depending on how one counts)
reaches (p. 19) 13 or 14 indented subdivisions, with entries squeezed to
the far right of the page?)
