"Very" and "hairy" only rhyme if you're from the Midwest or California. In the Northeast (and in much of the UK) they're pronounced completely differently.

They rhyme in my part of the northeast, too. Can you give phonetic spellings to describe the two pronunciations?

The e in "very" is pronounced like a short e. (bet, deck, jest) Phonetically, it would be VEH-ree.

The vowel sound in "hairy" is NOT pronounce like a short e, but as the combination of ai. (air, care, stair, pair) Phonetically, it would be HARE-ee.

The vowel sounds in "deck" and "care" are not the same. Neither are the vowel sounds in "very" and "hairy".

Agreed - they don't rhyme in the UK, so maybe another clue would better? Here 'very' rhymes with 'berry' or 'cherry' and 'hairy' rhymes with 'Fairy' or 'Mary'.

I'm mostly with dasubergeek. In the part of the Northeast I'm from (central Jersey), "very" generally has a short "e" sound, while "hairy" has a long "a" sound. There are admittedly many people around there who do pronounce both with a long "a," though.

And lemme tell ya, my last name is Vary with a long "a", so ever since elementary school I have been made excruciatingly familiar with this extremely specific matter of rhyming and pronunciation.

I think in much of the world "very" and "vary" are pronounced identically. Western Canada does not usually distinguish between the pronunciation of the two.

Do "Tamil" and "camel" really rhyme? I've always been pronouncing "i" in "Tamil" as "i" in "mill" or "family" and "e" in "camel" as "e" in "gravel" or "barrel". That's maybe because I'm non-native English speaker, but I'm pretty sure I've heard native English speakers pronouncing the same way as I did.

The "e" in barrel makes a schwa sound. Mill makes an "i" sound. They're different in most dictionaries I've ever seen.

Hate to be picky, but the clue should probably be changed to "A player of a low-note instrument who has a problem with people of a different color." Racism isn't a one-way street.

Maybe "xenophobic musician"? I know xenophobia and racism aren't 100% the same thing, but it would make for a slightly shorter clue.

Tamil and Camel do not rhyme.

Tamil is pronounced more as TAM - eel (as in the fish)

While camel is CaM - ill.

They don't rhyme

Very - Hairy? They just don't rhyme in my part of the world. Perhaps "Scary/Hairy" ("its scary that something is that hairy") is a much closer answer for that rhyme and meaning combination?
