ANTIMERIA, in Grammar, a figure whereby one part of speech is used for another; e.g., velle suum cuique est, for voluntas sua cuique est; also populus late rex, for populus late regnans. In a more restricted sense, it denotes a figure where the noun is repeated instead of the pronoun. This figure is frequent in the Hebrew, and is sometimes retained in our version of the Old Testament: e.g., Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech,—for my wives. Gen. iv. 23.
