ONG -- Terms I Did Not Know (would these even be on the GRE?)

Had some difficulty finding exact matches online for some of the words in this text; anyway, all of these are from Section IV and all definitions from the OED

Apophonemata --- apophony -- variation of vowel quality in variations of grammatically related words ie give/gave

Isocola seemed closest to isocolic -of Ancient Greek Rhetoric and Prosody its definition being to consist of a sentence or period, of 'cola,' members or clauses of equal length.

Noetic - ancient greek intellectual
, mental--to percieve or understand (Noesis n.) of a process faculty, etc.: characterized by or involving intellectual activity or more narrowly intellectual intuition; relating to knowledge or the intellect, cognitive.

Phenomenology: of or relating to the act or processes of perceiving or thinking. 2. Of an object, idea, etc.: apprehended by, or belonging to the realm of, pure intellect; purely intellectual
