This is how I've always understood it also. This is why there is no
rhyme with "silver". A rhyme on the penult is a feminine rhyme and a =

on the final syllable (whose technical name I can't recall) is a =
masculine
rhyme. Or do I have that backwards?

/i/?
Since I joined this list I've been constantly amazed at the variety of
English dialects. I pronounce "orange" /ornZ/.
