Question.

[conuly]

Words that sound alike at the end (end, send, bend; can, ban, ran; book, nook, crook) are said to rhyme. Words that sound alike at the beginning (see, saw, summer; less, land, loop; hope, hop, horoscope) are said to alliterate. What about words that only sound different in the middle? Groups like book, bake, bark. Or cap, keep, cop. Or gout, got, gut. Don't they get a cool word too?

I believe they count as "slant rhyme" but I'm not positive. Slant rhyme always confused me.
