μηδείς ( talk) 05:10, 25 August 2012 (UTC) Reply In other words, a "short a", as in bat, chat, fat, hat, mat, pat, rat, sat, that, vat. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:04, 25 August 2012 (UTC) Reply It's the vowel of cat or ash, and is called ash, after the old English Ash (letter). Which reminds me of an Ogden Nash short poem. Can you name a word you would rhyme "llama" with? And by the way, in American English anyway, "mama" and "momma" are total homophones, and "llama" is a homophone of "lama".
Does Llama generally rhyme with Mama in other English dialects? Edited to add: Or, just as likely, if it is majority rhyming, which major dialects does it not rhyme in? Mingmingla ( talk) 02:48, 25 August 2012 (UTC) Reply I don't understand the "ae" thing. It's clearly intended to rhyme, but to my ear the rhymes don't work since my pronunciation for "Llama" is æ, but Mama is ɑ~ɒ (more like momma), according to the IPA chart for Canada (I'm not that familiar with IPA so I hope I used it right). There is a picture book with the title Llama Llama Mad at Mama.
