Notes
[edit]- Two words are rhymes if they are stressed on the same syllable, counting from the end of the words, and are pronounced identically from the vowel in their stressed syllable to the end, but differ in sound immediately before that vowel.
- Wiktionary follows this strict definition of a rhyme. For example
- gunting, kuting and balimbing are all rhymes, because they are all stressed on the final syllable and are pronounced identically from the vowel sound in that syllable to the end of the word.
- ganid and silid are not rhymes, as they are stressed on different syllables (the penultimate and final syllables, respectively)
Organization of rhymes
[edit]Rhymes in Wiktionary are organized using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). See Appendix:Tagalog pronunciation for examples of how the IPA may be used to represent the sounds of Tagalog.
