What's the correct term for a "undirected cycle" in a directed cycling graph - when there's more than one path between nodes? I'm calling them "diamonds", but is there a better term?

Do you mean arbitrary undirected cycles, or only undirected cycles composed of two directed paths? – JeffE Jun 1 at 7:38
