****************
An excerpt concerning Linda's Lexigram from the word ORANGE, from Star Signs, page 576:

quote:

---

I saved my favorite Lexigram for this final chapter.  Of all the
mysteries contained in the Lexigramming of English words, using the
Anglo-Saxon, druid-protected alphabet, this one is, to me, the most
profound.  The only word that doesn't rhyme with any other.   The
fruit my grade-school teacher used to demonstrate gravity.   Orange.
ORANGE contains: NO ANGER--NO RAGE--NO AGE
end

---

Not sure why exactly she found it to be "the most profound" .
Perhaps because it is one she did not leave errors in, as she did with her other Lexigrams?
I wonder why she "missed" what other things were to be found with the word "ORANGE".
(this is not a complete list, but does include the three words she used in her tiny Lexigram of the word "ORANGE")
NO AGE
NO AGER
NO ANGER
NO AEON
NO ARGON
NO EAR
NO EGO
NO EON
NO ERA
NO GEAR
NO GO
NO GOER
NO GORE
NO GROAN
NO NAG
NO OAR
NO OGRE
NO ONAGER (two different definitions for "Onager; see definitions later in this post)
NO ONE
NO ORANGE
NO ORE
NO ORGAN
NO RA
NO RAG
NO RAGE
NO RANGE
NO ROAN
NO ROE

One can use GO instead of NO above.

That is quite a few "missed" words found within the word ORANGE.
Here are a few more:
(excluding odd words and or politically incorrect words for now)

A ARE AN O" ON OR EARN RANG RAN GONE NEAR GENOA

As one can clearly see,
more is found within the letters of the word ORANGE.

Definitions for ONAGER:

More comments on the paragraph of Linda's I quoted previously;
There is no such thing as "the Anglo-Saxon, druid-protected alphabet".
That is her belief and her New Age mythos, NOT FACT.
The alphabet used in the English language is "the Latin alphabet".
That IS A FACT, not a belief.
It is not Anglo-Saxon, nor any of the other non factual things she said about it.
Sorry if that information offends anyone.
Babies do not come from storks, nor is the moon made from cheese, nor the Earth flat.
When New Age and or any religious/cult type of concepts are put forth as fact, 
(when such is clearly not fact, nor logical)
I must protest.

AS TO NOTHING RHYMES WITH THE WORD ORANGE....
That is NOT completely true either! Some of the rhymes are not a singular word however.

so, IMHO, orange rhymes with "forage" and "porridge" and alot of other stuff.

In fact, I was taking poetry in college when my kids told me about that teacher, so, I wrote a whole list of words that orange 'rhymes' with. The teacher was not amused. Oh well.

ps. I've always been fond of orange, btw, the color and the fruit. "They" say that Sag's are oft times fond of the color orange. Then I thought about how prison jumpsuits are orange. Also the road construction equipment that bans you from crossing here or there. Isn't that odd that a color we use for restriction would be a color that the sign most loathe to be restricted is sometimes associated with? Curious!

---

BTW...
Leos love the color orange also!
I do not think of it as the color of restrictions/limitations though. See it as the color of warning, of direction for detours, to alert us to dangers, be they criminals or road hazards....the color tells us to be careful and watchful.

However, BLORENGE (a 1,833 ft. hill near Abergavenny, Wales) is given in O. V. Michaelsen's book Words At Play. SPORANGE looks as if it rhymes, but the word, which is short for sporangium, is pronounced spuh-RANJ.

The examples above meet the requirement that the last two syllables rhyme with ORANGE, since the final sylllable is unstressed. If we require only that the final syllable of the word match, then there are many other candidates for words which rhyme with orange. For example, Ng Boon Leong says that as English is pronounced in Singapore, RANGE, STONEHENGE, and DERANGE all rhyme with ORANGE. Bruce Salvisberg says the French given name SOLANGE rhymes with orange. Bruce Todd points out that the final syllable of CITRANGE is pronounced identically with the final syllable of ORANGE, and W3 shows an alternate pronunciation of SYRINGE which is also identical in the last syllable. Ian Eiloart provides BINGE, CRINGE, HINGE, M*NGE, IMPINGE, SINGE, TINGE, and WHINGE, and he provides this little poem:

Ted Hughes would constantly whinge, "There's no rhyme I think for orange" But wait, we misheard, For these were his words, "There's no wine to drink for a binge"
