- IPA(key): /ˈzdɹuːtʃələ/
Adjective
sdrucciola (not comparable)
- (rare, prosody, of a rhyme) Formed of words stressed on their antepenults and rhyming on all three final syllables.
- Note that ending that couplet’s lines with the words ‘reparate’ and ‘separate’ would create a rhyme sdrucciola, if that helps.
