Identical pronunciation of different lines of poetry
Holorime[1] (or holorhyme[2]) is a form of rhyme where two very similar sequences of sounds can form phrases composed of different words and with different meanings. For example, the two lines of Miles Kington's poem "A Lowlands Holiday Ends in Enjoyable Inactivity" are pronounced the same in some British English dialects:[nb 1]
In Ayrshire hill areas, a cruise, eh, lass?
Inertia, hilarious, accrues, hélas!
Holorime pairs may also be referred to as oronyms.[3]
