Could someone give me a few Proverb-like Tail-Tag sentences ?

* Tail-Tag (1 or 2 -letter overlap between successive words)

___________________________

— Let tired dogs sleep.
— Apple everyday yanks stolid doctors’ sway.
— Sooner-rising goose eats scrumptious sweetgrass.

— Wine never erases essential aloneness. (2-letter overlap)
(from Mr.Eckler's [Making the Alphabet Dance] book)

(2-letter overlap) (between successive words)

Te tero, Roma, manu nuda, date tela latete.

-------------------- I will destroy you, Rome,
with my bare hands,
arm yourselves and hide!

It's often loosely translated similarly to below:
I will tear you down, Rome, with my bare hands; give me your weapons and hide!

I've never come across this form of word-play before. I sat down to have
a try in Latin, and came up with these.

Dum Umbriam ambulabam amoenam amnem eminentem emi.
(While walking pleasant Umbria I bought a splendid river)
Multi timent entia iambica, cadavera, raptores, esuriem.
(Many fear iambic beings, corpses, robbers, thirst)
Numquam amavi vim implacabilem empororum Umbriae.
(I never liked the implacable forcefulness of merchants in Umbria)

Jp, French, Russian... kids play this game a lot --- English-speaking kids, not so much.

Italian and Latin-speaking kids prob. play it (taking turns).

are those 3 things iambic in some way ?

cadavera, raptores, esuriem.
wwSw, wSw, wwSw <-- are these right ?

>>> In Latin, the stress on a word is placed on only one of two syllables: the one before the last syllable (the penultimate syllable, or penult), or the one before that (the antepenultimate syllable, or antepenult).

( initially, i thought Spanish Telefono would be wwSw ) what's the rule here?

Liquor rarely yields solitude's solution. (by me)

Could someone give me a few Proverb-like Tail-Tag sentences (any lang.) ?

according to the following rule ....
maybe
esuriem
is
esUriem

What syllable is usually stressed in a Latin word?
------------ The basic rule of word stress in Latin was that words were normally stressed on the penultimate syllable unless that syllable was short (i.e. open with a short vowel as its nucleus), in which case the stress fell on the antepenultimate syllable.

I think it goes like this for my words.
BTW, I use accents del modo español (not à la française).
cadáver >>> cadávera
ráptor >>> ráptores
esúries
Spanish-speaking countries are often thrown into confusion by English
posters and signs. Eg They often see "video shop", and end up
pronouncing "vidéo" instead of "vídeo".
