Explanation
A construction suggesting a shared hinge between two clauses without forming a complete apokoinu. Makes clause boundaries visible as interpretable and sometimes unstable transitions.
Example
What we seek are paths lead onward.
Counterexample
What we seek are paths that lead onward.
Distinction
In apokoinu the hinge belongs structurally to both clauses; here the double attachment remains approximate.
Effect on thought and perception
Makes clause boundaries visible as interpretable and sometimes unstable transitions.
Resonance
Two clause spaces meet at a hinge that only appears to support both.
