The phrase κινητὰ καὶ μοχλευτὰ presents a striking syntactic and semantic anomaly. While the first participle (kinēta) functions adjectivally to describe 'works' (ergon) as 'shakable' or 'unstable'—a standard metaphor for rhetorical instability—the second (mochleuta) is a hapax legomenon in this context, derived from mochleuo ('to work a lever' or 'to pry'). Aristophanes here employs a rare, compound verbal noun in the accusative to personify the 'works' as active agents of prying or manipulation, creating a deliberate pun on the physical act of leverage and the rhetorical 'leveraging' of arguments. This construction is not merely a standard adjectival modifier but a marked rhetorical device where the abstract 'work' is grammatically treated as a mechanical operator, reflecting the play's broader satire on the Sophists' manipulation of language.
