Syllable rime
In linguistics, the rime of a syllable is the portion from the vowel to the end, for example, oat is the rime both of "oat" and of "boat".
In addition to their role in the perception of rhyme, rimes are particuarly significant in research on the origins of Chinese-language characters.
