It is apparently called anastrophe, but yes it is correct but not common. I figured it's a hold over from Germanic sentence structures. As far as I can think of really it's only ever used in this type of sentence "something... Does not a adjective make"

Gpt4 seems to think it has no relation to Germanic roots of the language but my gut tells me there's probably no way this ordering finds it's way to English without that history
