What name(s) do you know for this structure?

chiasm (common)
chiasmus (John Breck)
concentric parallelism (Dennis Chadwick)
mirror-image pattern (Carson, D. A., R. T. France, J. A. Motyer, and G. J. Wenham)
reverse parallelism (Corley, Bruce, Steve Lemke, and Grant Lovejoy)
criss-cross structure (Ralph P. Martin)
ring structure (Phyllis Trible)
chiastic structure (Ralph P. Martin)
palistrophe (Carson, D. A., R. T. France, J. A. Motyer, and G. J. Wenham)

I'm trying to find potential occurrence of this form in one search rather than many. And, yes, I know some of these are actually subsets of the whole group ...

Chiliasm[:D]

chiasm (common)

chiasmus (John Breck)

"chiastic pattern" (Martin Selman)

"chiasmus" is more than John Breck e.g. Fee, Gordon, who also uses "chiasm"

Mark Futato also uses "concentric structure" to describe it:

"I tend to call it concentric..."

Another Futato example:

"This verse is the center of a concentrically formed strophe..."

I thought Cris-Cross were two young rappers from the 90’s 😂 ‘cause that’s what they were born to do 😇
