Don't know whether someone may have commented further on this since
the latest digest, but I'll throw in a bit more. I think the basis on
which this is seen as a chiasmus is the appropriateness of the verbs
in B' and A' to their suggested subjects. It makes sense that the
pigs would trample the pearls and that dogs would tear you up. But
pigs tearing you up doesn't make so much sense, at least not from
what *I* know about pigs.
