In the making of this C I P H E R S series of graphic works, a new word came to mind to describe the forms being made: “Kentrogram”.
In singling out words that were 7 in character for these C I P H E R S, but also ones that shared a single central letter (in this case ‘I’). This of course means such Kentrograms (as we could now call them) would have to be odd in sum character. However, interestingly it is the shared relationship of the words, numbers, and symbols that give them their relationship; their bond. Individually, any odd word has the potential to be a Kentrogram.
To formulate what this would be called had it have the same usage as Palindromes or Anagrams - forming Kentrogram. From Greek “kéntron” (κέντρον), meaning centre or point, and “-gram” (from Greek gramma, γράμμα), meaning something written or recorded.
Kentrogram /ˈkɛn.trə.ɡræm/
noun
A collection of words, phrases, numbers, or other sequences of symbols that share the same middle letter, number, or symbol. The shared character must appear in the central position of each sequence, with an equal or nearly equal number of elements on either side.
