parallels:
Just as YOU [G-d}    did X and Y
So should YOU {G-d} do X and Z

Does that make literary sense

So here is how Ashkenaz reads:

al          shehechiyasanu vkiyamtanu
Kine      Techayenu         usekaymeinu

The paralells are X & Y twice and This is a form of the bracah
shehecheyanu.  Techaneinu looks to be a lacuna.
