    derogatory
    2002, Jorge Camacho, "Arto poetika", La Ondo de Esperanto, 2002 issue 6 (92): Krom adasismoj, abundas ankaŭ rimokrimoj similaj al la praparo koro/doloro (“perloj/merloj” sur p. 54, kie mi volonte ŝanĝus “l” al “d”) kaj, ĉefe, rimoj strasaj. Apart from suffix rhymes, it also abounds with rhyme crimes similar to the clichéd koro/doloro ("perloj/merloj" on page 54, where I would willingly change "l" to "d") and generally cheap rhymes.
