=Nick, I'm surprised at you. You know enough of linguistics to know that it
=isn't the case that "rhyme is rhyme". Sounds that are considered to be
=rhyming ino one language may not be in another (e.g. in English very often
=just an identical final vowel qualifies as a rhyme, while in Hebrew you
=have to match more than that, since its inflections make almost anything
=rhyme by that definition).
Oh. Oh yeah. My point was that, when bare stems rhyme and can appear in texts
as lexemes, I wouldn't think there was anything controversial about them.
