Dear list members,<br>
<br>
On behalf of Wolfgang Behr (University of Zurich) I post below his
answer to Joshua's question. rodo<br>
<br>
--------------------<br>
<pre wrap="">I have a faint recollection, that this is sometimes called "andiplostic rhyme", after the rhethorical figure which describes the repetition of something occuring at the end of a sentence at the beginning of the next. For "hook rhyme", you might wish to check, whether it occurs in one of these terminological catalogues:
Rickert, William E. (1978), “Rhyme Terms”, Style 122 (1): 35-46.
Shahed, Syed Mohammad (1995), “Nomenclatures for Traditional Rhymes”, Asian Folklore Studies 54 (2): 308-14.
For the areal phenomenon cf. also
Hudak, Thomas John (1987), “Internal rhyme patterns in classical Thai poetry”, Crossroads 3 (2-3): 94-105.
My understanding was always, that what is more widespread in SE Asia is the so-called "climbing rhyme", esp. popular in Burmese poetry, where the rhyme word moves back gradually, "step by step", from the end to the beginning of a line within a poem or stanza. If you write anything on rhyming in Chamic, I would be certainly interested in reading it. Say hello to Jerry Edmondson, best wishes,
Wolfgang Behr

type="cite">I've been looking at a rhyme scheme in Jarai (Chamic;
Vietnam/Cambodia), where the last word of one line rhymes with a word
near the beginning of the next line, as in the following, where we have
the rhyming pairs hra - rəpa, asəi - tələi (from Dournes 1976):<br>
<br>
ʔbhɨt ʔbong <u>hra</u><br>
<u>rəpa</u> ʔbong <u>asəi</u><br>
<u>tələi</u> ʔbu mao<br>
(jealousy eat salt / hungry eat rice / issue not exist)<br>
<br>
I've heard this called <i>hook-rhyme</i>, but I can't find that term
(or any other) in any books or articles. I understand this is fairly
common in SEA languages (I've been given an example in Khmer, and I've
seen instances in a dissertation on Rengao and an article on Halang).<br>
<br>
Can anyone point me to any sources that talk about or name this rhyme
pattern? So far I've come up short in my search.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
