Deno is No|de swapped. So no, not backwards. But... how would one call it?

French has a word for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verlan

Verlan is itself verlan of l’envers (backwards). It’s super common to make slang words this way.

TIL that Stromae (the name of a Belgian musician) is Maestro in verlan.
It's also backwards, but by two character groups, or if you prefer, consonant-vowel groups.
little-endian
Maybe "scrambled".
Rotated
Deno, an anagram of node
Backwards (in Japanese)
Shifted
Transposed
