interrhyme en · VERB

Etymology

From inter- + rhyme.

Meanings

  1. (intransitive) To rhyme with each other.
    • To take a hypothetical example, suppose that words A, B, and C are assumed to interrhyme freely, and that, in a large corpus, B is used as a rhyme word twice as often as C. If the words actually interrhyme freely, then we would expect A to rhyme with B about twice as often as it rhymes with C. 1986, John F. McCoy, Timothy Light, Contributions to Sino-Tibetan Studies, page 270:
