Detection of rhymes

(1) "Naive" rule-based approach

PRINCIPLE: Look for pairs of lines which end with the same string of sound representations
EXAMPLE 1 (en):
"place" [ p l EI s ]
"case" [ k EI s ]
===> High precision, rather low recall
not all rhymes are based on perfect match; e.g. frequented mismatch of vowel length in Czech rhymes:
EXAMPLE 2 (cs):
"láska" [ l a: s k a ]
"maska" [ m a s k a ]
