Abstract
Abstract Aposiopesis, »the sudden breaking off of what is being said (or written)«, is not simply a rhetorical figure but a linguistic device of the ellipsis of the main clause or the sentence nucleus. The speaker conveys »feelings of haste, urgency, and anxiety«, as in the cases of Hannah (1Sam 1:22) and Tamar (2Sam 13:16). The omitted phrase or clause is usually negative. Further Examples: 1) 2Sam 23:17 Is it [not] the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives? 2) 2Sam 21:1 due to Saul and the bloody house Textual omission and conversational ellipsis need to be carefully distinguished.
