Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 8:10
"the earth was carried up upon the city of Moronihah, that in the place of the city there became a great mountain"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 19:11
"and by mountains which shall be carried up"

Shared words: carried up

Second distinctly-Zenos mode fulfilled: 'by mountains which shall be carried up' (1 Nephi 19:11, the Zenos mode-list) executed at 3 Nephi 8:10, where 'the earth was carried up upon the city of Moronihah' until 'there became a great mountain.' Shared verbatim bigram 'carried up' plus the mountain motif. The heaved-up sense of 'carried up' is unique to these two verses; the other 'carried up' / 'carried upon' occurrences (1 Nephi 22:6; 2 Nephi 6:6; 1 Nephi 21:22; and Isaiah 49:22) are all the Isaiah 'carried upon their shoulders' Gentile-nursing passages, an unrelated context; a third, plain physical-carrying sense appears at Ether 6:2 — 'the stones which the brother of Jared had carried up into the mount' — and corpus-wide the frozen New Testament adds the ascension sense at Luke 24:51 ('carried up into heaven'). The heaved-up sense remains unique to the two ends. Distinct from the Samuel fulfillment pairs (8:18 <-> Helaman 14:22; 8:23 <-> Helaman 14:27): different near-end, different far end (1 Nephi 19, Zenos), and again a mode Samuel's Helaman 14 death-sign never names -- there are no mountains-carried-up in Samuel's sign.
