w:International Phonetic Alphabet says that /j/ is a consonant, not a vowel. So these are invalid. Though it is actually a semivowel. It's probably best to follow the strict letter of the law and merge this into Rhymes:French:-e. Ditto for the three others with j as the first character of the title.

- From what I've heard, rhymes in French work differently. Since French has no phonemic stress, all words ending in -er would rhyme (which includes the vast majority of all French verbs in existence). But I know too little about this problem to give a vote here. -- Prince Kassad 14:01, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah Rhymes:French:-je could contain a million or so entries, including inflected forms. Less without them. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:08, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know whether this is what PK meant, and I don't know anything about how French rhymes, but the fact that in English we rhyme from the last stressed vowel is a feature of English: other languages can rhyme from the beginning of the last stressed syllable, or from the beginning of the last syllable, or from the last vowel, etc. If French rhymes based on the beginning of the last syllable, then this page would seem to be a keeper. As I said, I don't know whether that's the case.—msh210℠ (talk) 17:41, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not sure; I'm the page's only editor, if I were sure, I'd have deleted it by now. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
