Genuine rhymes include 'assembling' (/əˈsɛmbəlɪŋ/) and 'resembling' (/rɪˈzɛmbəlɪŋ/), which share the stressed /ɛmbəlɪŋ/ ending with 'trembling'. Although 'rumbling' (/ˈrʌmbəlɪŋ/), 'tumbling' (/ˈtʌmbəlɪŋ/), 'gambling' (/ˈɡæmbəlɪŋ/), and 'stumbling' (/ˈstʌmbəlɪŋ/) look similar, their stressed vowels differ (/ʌ/ or /æ/), so they do not rhyme.
