syllabaries

And I don't think there is any general-purpose English
word for the kind of systematic relationship between
syllabaries that you are looking for here. "Case" is
clearly not right.

And "isomorphic syllabic structure" is probably more of
a mouthful than you are looking for.

Come on, list -- this is the kind of stuff you folks are
real good at. ;-)

Isosyllabicity?

Homosyllogy?

Sylphsameness?
