minus-squareJojo, Lady of the West@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoOoh, also its accent, this is not a thing couplet for me Discount, viscount, load and broad, Toward, to forward, to reward, Nor it’s immediate predecessor, Banquet is not nearly parquet, Which exactly rhymes with khaki. Parquet isn’t in my vocabulary, but doesn’t seem to rhyme with khaki in any common dialect either way.

minus-squareMutilationWave@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-23 months agoThey don’t sound the same at all though. Lose - looze Loose - luice
minus-squarevxx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-23 months agoInteresting, I didn’t know that. FYI, there’s the phonetic transcription that saves us from using other words to describe a pronunciation. luːz - lose luːs - loose
