Hebrew term or phrase: חרוז מבריח

מונח המציין בשירת ספרד חרוז אחד ויחיד, החוזר בסופם של כל טורי השיר. רק בטור הראשון מופיע לעתים קרובות החרוז המבריח גם בסוף הדלת, לתפארת הפתיחה. חרוז זה, כמוהו כבריח, המלכד ומחבר את כל טורי השיר, ומכאן שמו. זו שיטת החריזה המקובלת והשכיחה ביותר בשירת החול בספרד. שיר המחורז בחרוז מבריח מכונה גם "שיר שווה חרוז."

"rhyme continued throughout a poem" = חָרוּז מַבְרִיחַ

Not much of a translation - but it's "official"...

Now, I saw this source
http://www.sephardicrabbinicalcollege.com/php/article_view.p...
with this quote:
"Such a rhyme is termed haruz mabriyah (חרוז מבריח) since it is consistent for the poem duration and forms a בָּרִיחַ or axis."

I would'bt recommend their "haruz mabriyah"...
but the quote may lead to consider the weird idea of "axial rhyme", if you want. (It is not used anywhere, IMHO, at least online)

Asker: Thank you very much for help. It just occured to me that one can call it a "monorhyme". I will use your descriptive answer as it is seems to be the official one. Thank you! :)

Interlocking rhyme

Explanation:
aka: Chain Rhyme, Cross Rhyme, as in Yehudah Halevi's poetry (and many others).
See Heb. Wikipedia: שירת ימי הבניים של יהדות ספרד -מושגים בשירת ימי הביניים

Glossary of Rhymes /by position in the stanza or verse paragraph.

Sorry it's all I can give you, though I'm quite sure of it. It took me a couple of hours searching the web and putting data together to get there.
Hope to have been of help.

Asker: Thank you! However, I believe that "interlocking rhyme" is a rhyme with a "abab" scheme, and that's not what I need. Thanks anyway.
