>>14467It's impossible to go anywhere from here btw. This thread dies here if we kept these rules. English is just too phonotactically complex to permit shiritori to work in it. It's a fun try but ultimately if you wanted it to work out something fun kinda like it I'd recommend:
Starting non plural, non genitive, etc. word or something like that. plus sentence including that word (has to be exactly that word not having "kiss" as the word and then saying "kissing")
Next person comes up with a word based on the last letter of the word chosen by the last person. Comes up with a sentence for it.
The chain continues.
So for example:
Shiritori
You can't make
shiritori work in English.

Brazil → zilch
No.14473
>>14469I dunno I think it will work if we just be kinda fuzzy with the phonetics or kick it off again with a new word if we can't think of anything. Actually, I think not being able to think of another word is part of the fun of the game.
>>14471zilch → charizard
No.14474
>>14471Zilch (/zɪltʃ/) is a single syllable and also isn't the same terminal syllable in Brazil (/bɹə.ˈzɪl/)
To break this down further:
The onset of the syllable in question of both words is the phoneme /z/ and the nucleus is /ɪ/. The two have different coda, however. While both contain the phoneme /l/, zilch also importantly contains the phonetic ligature /tʃ/. Put simply, they're different syllables even if they're phonetically similar ones.
>>14473>I dunno I think it will work if we just be kinda fuzzy with the phoneticsIn the case you used (zilch → charizard), you used the final phoneme (/tʃ/) as the initial phoneme of the new word. Essentially what I proposed minus the sentence.
>Actually, I think not being able to think of another word is part of the fun of the game.I think so too but it ending after to
2 words is unfortunate
