So {catra} rhymes with {matra}, but not with {tavla}. Your understanding is correct. If the stressed *syllables* are also identical, then this is "rich rhyme" (which, despite the connotations of "rich", is traditionally regarded in English prosody as a defect); if the rhyming words are identical, it is "identic rhyme". -- John Cowan www.reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan jcowan@reutershealth.com Arise, you prisoners of Windows / Arise, you slaves of Redmond, Wash, The day and hour soon are coming / When all the IT folks say "Gosh!"
