May 11, 2013 at 11:11 comment added tchrist Rhyming dictionaries care about stressed syllables onward, which is the last syllable only in masculine rhymes but not in feminine ones. Shimmering rhymes with glimmering and not with inquiring or Frodo’s ring. Also, I don’t understand what you mean by middle syllable or how it might apply to your example of torrent and sorcerer. It sounds like all you need is the IPA of the pronunciation, some understanding of syllables, and regular expressions.
