hook-rhyme

[Yuphaphann Hoonchamlong]

Dear list members,
This is to add information to Prof. Behr's reply.
An excerpt from Tom Hudak's 1990 work on *The Indigenization of Pali Meters
in Thai Poetry.* (Monographs in International Studies.
Southeast Asia Series No. 87. Athens: Ohio University.)
can be found at:
http://thaiarc.tu.ac.th/poetry/poem.html

The Thai rhyming scheme closest to the "hook-rhyme" as described in Joshua's
query is the  ร่าย "raay"

For "hook rhyme", you might wish to check, whether it occurs in one of these terminological catalogues:

If you write anything on rhyming in Chamic, I would be certainly interested in reading it. Say hello to Jerry Edmondson, best wishes,
