In an amphibrachic pair, each word is an amphibrach and has the second syllable stressed and the first and third syllables unstressed. attainder, remainder; autumnal, columnal; concoction, decoction (In GA, these rhyme with auction; there is also the YouTube slang word obnoxion, meaning something that is obnoxious.) distinguish, extinguish
In it, Kool G Rap gives an example of this kind of rhyme, rhyming "random luck" with "handsome fuck" and "vans and trucks". [10] Other examples in the book include two syllable rhymes such as rhyming “indo” with “Timbo” [11] and rhymes with irregular numbers of syllables such as “handle it” and “candle to it”. [12]
This is because a single following consonant is typically considered the onset of the following syllable. For example, Spanish casar ("to marry") is composed of an open syllable followed by a closed syllable (ca-sar), whereas cansar "to get tired" is composed of two closed syllables (can-sar).
One kind of word often involved in brevis breviāns are two-syllable words ending in a vowel, e.g. volō. In 1890, Leppermann listed all the iambic two-syllable words with a long vowel in the second syllable that occur in Plautus's iambic and trochaic lines, omitting those at the end of a verse.
For example, in the two-syllable word mōra, the ō is a long vowel and counts as two morae. The word is written in three symbols, モーラ, corresponding here to mo-o-ra, each containing one mora. Therefore, the 5/7/5 pattern of the haiku in modern Japanese is of morae rather than syllables.
The stressed vowel sound in both words must be identical, as well as any subsequent sounds. For example, the words kit and bit form a perfect rhyme, as do spaghetti and already. [4] [5] The onset of the stressed syllable in the words must differ. For example, pot and hot are a perfect rhyme, while leave and believe are not.
In contrast, outsiders frequently stress the first syllable and fully pronounce all of its vowels: / ˈ s æ s k æ tʃ u ɒ n / SASK-atch-choo-on. [44] Toronto, Ontario: Toronto is sometimes pronounced with the first syllable elided as if it were a two-syllable word: / ˈ t r ɒ n t oʊ / "Tronto".
The English word "trapeze" is an example of an iambic pair of syllables, since the word is made up of two syllables ("tra-peze") and is pronounced with the stress on the second syllable ("tra-PEZE", rather than "TRA-peze"). A line of iambic pentameter is made up of five such pairs of short/long, or unstressed/stressed, syllables.
