"...the figure called kuklos, "the circle," is sometimes used with great skill. In this the clause or sentence begins and ends with the same word, which denotes alike the sound and the thought" thats wot ive found :p

heres some more stuff i found:
EPANALEPSIS A figure by which the same word or clause is repeated after intervening matter.

anaphora: the repetition of a word

SYMPLOCE: A figure consisting in the repetition of one word or phrase at the beginning, and of another at the end of successive clauses or sentences (a combination of ANAPHORA and EPISTROPHE).

i hope that helps :p
