Sorry I'm so (re)tardy in responding. Been away too long.
What do you think about this recent AWAD - does #2 come close to begging the question?

hysteron proteron (HIS-tuh-ron PROT-uh-ron) noun
1. A figure of speech in which the natural or rational order of its
terms is reversed, as in bred and born instead of born and bred.
2. The logical fallacy of assuming as true and using as a premise
a proposition that is yet to be proved.
[Late Latin, from Greek husteron proteron, latter first : husteron, neuter
sing. of husteros, latter, later + proteron, neuter sing. of proteros,
former.]
