Possibly when playing cards -- "I nak'd Jack!" in Strip Jack Naked (sometimes

Yeah, maybe I was a bit hasty on the "usually". There may be a general
distinction between attributive and predicative uses; "X is beloved by all" is
definitely bisyllabic for me. Has this been discussed anywhere?

P.S. Are there any speakers who rhyme "baked" and "naked"?
