brachyology

brachyology
A figure of speech that is an abbreviated expression, for example, the omission of "good" in "good morning."

So also in Ps 118 the preposition might include the verb ‘come,’ which connects itself so naturally with ‘until,’ and a poetical mode of expression, which is naturally disposed to vivid brachyology (cf. Ps 118), might discover a self-evident point in the circumstance that not the victims themselves but their blood, the precious part of them (Lv 17), is at last to touch the alter-horns.
