Ciclycal

Ciclycal: adjective. Referring to something that occurs in backwards cycles or is backwardly recurrent. For example, consider a Phoenix, who is born old from a flame and then grows younger and younger until he hides himself in an egg, at which point the egg erupts in flames and an old phoenix is born from the flame once again. The life of this phoenix could be called ciclycal from the point of view of a regular, quite ordinary phoenix.
