To classify an example, first locate the resemblance: between two words, at clause endings, across the opening and ending of one unit, or in a reversed sequence. This resolves many superficially similar labels.
Then verify semantic difference, the relevant metrical or rhyming relation, and the effect of the device on sense. The two-stage analysis prevents classification by sound alone.
