"Photography" and "Biography" - Not rhymes, but what?

One of the definitions of end ryhme

See, I would just call that a “rhyme.” It’s an “end” rhyme as opposed to what? Or is “end-rhyme” a retronym?

For “photography” and “biography,” the stressed vowel is “o,” so it’s “ography,” not “graphy” or “tography.”

But in English, vowels are not stressed, syllables are. The syllables are

pho-TO-gra-phy

and

bi-O-gra-phy

Maybe that was the point you were trying to make–that the vowel belonging to the stressed syllables is the same.

Internal rhyme. “Flying too high with some guy in the sky/is my idea of nothing to do/But I get a kick out of you.”
