Orange Series

Are there any words that rhyme with orange? Probably not, at least nothing that makes sense. Orange lends itself to accent, a dash or dip here or there. Orange is written the same in German, French , Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English.and similar in Dutch, oranje and Finnish, oranssi. Not so in Spanish, naranja,  or Italian, arancione. Croatian is similar to Spanish, narancaste. It gets really lost in translation in Portuguese, laranga but I think the Romanians have us all beat, portocalie.
