Subtlety: Many of the figures listed (like Accismus, Amphiboly, and Anacoluthon) involve nuanced language use that can easily be missed without careful reading. Their meanings often rely on specific contexts or implications that are not immediately obvious.
Context Dependence: Figures such as Antonomasia, Catachresis, and Syllepsis depend heavily on the surrounding text for their interpretation. Without sufficient context, these figures can be misinterpreted or overlooked entirely.
Complexity: Figures like Homoioteleuton and Symploke involve intricate patterns or structures in language that may not be apparent in short samples. Their identification often requires a deeper understanding of language mechanics and structure.
Ambiguity: Figures such as Amphiboly and Zeugma introduce ambiguity, which can complicate their identification. The dual meanings or grammatical structures can lead to confusion without clear context.
