529: Non-Rhyming Words May 20, 2016

Theoretically, there are infinite possible words that can be produced from a collection of relatively few phonemes, in the same way infinite numbers can be formed by adding other numbers. Often, however, there are trends in the phonological structures of different words, which, simply put, produces a rhyme. Some words don't fall into these such trends, for instance 'month', 'orange', 'silver' or 'purple'*.
