Rhymes
- Rhymes are organized here using the IPA. See the High Valyrian pronunciation key for examples demonstrating the sound that each IPA symbol makes.
- To find rhymes for a word, either:
- Determine which vowel or diphthong is stressed in the word, find the sound in the table below (which gives examples of words containing each of the vowel sounds) and follow the appropriate link. This will take you to a page for rhymes stressed on the final syllable, while rhymes for words stressed on an earlier syllable can be found by following the links ending in ellipses in the table.
- Find the word's entry on this wiki, from where there may be a link to the appropriate Rhymes page.
| Rhymes stressed on | Example | |
|---|---|---|
| Short vowels | /a/ | va |
| /e/ | se | |
| /i/ | dija | |
| /o/ | lo | |
| /u/ | quba | |
| /y/ | byka | |
| Long vowels | /aː/ | pār |
| /eː/ | jēda | |
| /iː/ | gīs | |
| /oː/ | kōz | |
| /uː/ | rūs | |
| /yː/ | rȳ | |
| Short diphthongs | /ae/ | hae |
| /ao/ | gaos | |
| /ia/ | biare | |
| /ie/ | giez | |
| /io/ | rios | |
| /ua/ | lua | |
| /ue/ | lue | |
| /uo/ | luo | |
| Long diphthongs | /aːe/ | vāedar |
| /aːo/ | — | |
| /iaː/ | riāzma | |
| /ieː/ | iēdar | |

Notes on rhymes
- Two words are rhymes if they are stressed on the same syllable, counting from the end of the words, and are pronounced identically from the vowel in their stressed syllable to the end, but differ in sound immediately before that vowel.
- To simplify things, we're going to follow this strict definition of a rhyme. For example:
- pār and gār (or in English best and quest) are rhymes, because they are stressed on the final syllable and are pronounced identically from the vowel sound in that syllable to the end of the word.
- līr and kesīr (or in English undid and liquid) are not rhymes, as they are stressed on different syllables (the final and penultimate syllables, respectively).
- Note, however, that some entries list "partial rhymes", meaning words that end in the same pronunciation but are stressed on different syllables, counting from the end. Words in these sections are words that have no true rhymes and do not appear on other pages.
Guide to adding new rhymes
- If you wish to add a page of rhymes not already listed here, do so by following the links in one of the tables below and creating a suitable link if one is not already given. Note the following conventions:
- All short monophthongs, long monophthongs, short diphthongs and long diphthongs are considered as separate vowels, and listed separately. As an example, words stressed on iā and ā and thereafter ending in the same way are consequently not considered as rhymes for the purposes of this index.
- Links in the tables for each vowel sound are ordered by the consonant sound immediately after the stressed vowel sound, in alphabetical order.
Variety
The variety reflected in the pronunciation guides for High Valyrian words on this wiki as well as in the indexation of rhymes here is termed Classical High Valyrian, and is consistent with the romanization system. The change of sri → j before vowels and sr → j elsewhere is not represented since it is considered post-Classical. The change of lj to l before i is taken into consideration, given that it is always reflected in the romanization, but the similar change of ñ to n in the same environment is not since it is not usually reflected in the romanization.
