Duh! Was guessing "clock", but didn't even think of trying "watch". That's what you get for having just one word for both in Finnish. (You can specify what kind of a timepiece it is, but the basic word encompasses all kinds.)

True, but nobody really uses that word, except watch companies when they want to sound fancy. I know in Spanish, "reloj" is the most common word for both "clock" and "watch." I imagine it's the same in the other languages.

you absolutely don’t need to do that, and probably shouldn’t. would a question about elvis read ‘what former singer’? would a question about the buddha read ‘what former spiritual leader?’ of course not, being dead does not stop them being those things. the word ‘former’ in this case makes it seem like someone who used to play basketball but quit while still alive, and confuses it needlessly.

I feel like the literary device should accept assonance and consonance, both of which I guessed before remembering the actual answer.
FadKrashmor

No, not assonance surely, as we kmow from "Educating Rita" assonance is "when they get the rhyme wrong".
jmellor13

Definitely at least "assonance." Consonance refers to similar sounds appearing anywhere in words, but assonance specifically refers to starting words with the same vowel sound, so it fits the clue perfectly.

Assonance for example is like Bike, and Nine.
RobNobody

Nope, assonance is similar vowel sounds appearing anywhere in words ("rise high in the bright sky"), while consonance is similar consonant sounds appearing in words ("rubber birds bob about"). Alliteration is the only one that specifically about sounds at the beginnings of the words.

This is something that irritates me, when people pronounce it deja 'voo'. As an English speaker you could say deja 'view' and be far closer to correct pronunciation.

French is my first language and I gotta say: "voo" is closer to the correct pronunciation than "view". Sorry, bud.

...as long as you differentiate between the /y/ vowel sound in French words 'vu' and 'su' from the /u/ sound in 'moue' and joue' then yes, I agree.

The /y/ and /u/ are French phonological notation.

However, the /u/ sound in 'voo' to many English speakers would be pronounced as the French word 'vous', which is quite clearly not right.

I think the rock band's logo is not a very good question, as how it is phrased now, it could also apply to Nirvana rather than the Rolling Stones. At least that's what I thought of. Could you rephrase it, or at least accept Nirvana as an alternative answer?

For the question 'What is a word that can mean either "ghost" or "liquor"?' should "gin" counted also be the right answer, I think.
