A wordplay technique in which a word or phrase with multiple syllables keeps each syllable's onsets (the initial consonant or consonant cluster, if any) in place, while the rimes (the vowel and any following sounds of each syllable) are reordered in reverse sequence. For syllables that begin with a vowel, the onset is considered empty, and only the rime is reversed.
Original word 1: armor
- Onsets in order: " ", "m"
- Rimes in order: "ar, "or" > Reverse to "or", " ar"
Rime-reversal result: ormar
Original word 2: armory
- Onsets in order: " ", "m", "r"
- Rimes in order: "ar", "or", " y" > Reverse to "y", "or", "ar"
Rime-Reversal result: ymorar (Pronounced imorar since the 'y' retains the /i/ vowel sound)
- Onsets in order: " ", "m"
- Rimes in order: "ar, "or" > Reverse to "or", " ar"
Rime-reversal result: ormar
Original word 2: armory
- Onsets in order: " ", "m", "r"
- Rimes in order: "ar", "or", " y" > Reverse to "y", "or", "ar"
Rime-Reversal result: ymorar (Pronounced imorar since the 'y' retains the /i/ vowel sound)

Get the Rime-reversal mug.An event which doctors have consensually denied possible because A) they have never seen it, B) they don't know how to make it happen, and C) it does not fit within the narrow guidelines of their practice, which are in place to keep patients where they are.
The patient had been diagnosed with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, told that she would never walk again, classed as "non-ambulatory" for insurance purposes, issued a steel leg brace and a motorized scooter. Dutifully, she did not walk, or try to, for two decades. With the help of someone who believed that a miraculous medical reversal was possible, the day came when she walked into her neurologist's office on her own feet, without the scooter, without the leg brace. Her doctor responded with total refusal of acknowledgement. His practice, after all, was described as "maintenance", not cure, and what the hell was this.

The quantum theory on rapid reversal of electron polarity is when a random shift occurs within the electrons of atoms causing particles to become entangled within an area. when a large enough number of the charged particles become entangled, there is a rapid discharge of electrons caused by the polarity shift. the energy that is released by this creates different types of plasma that lead to different phenomenon such as ball lightning.
The quantum theory on rapid reversal of electron polarity is what led to the creation of the ball lightning creating a beautiful, yet destructive wake in its path.
