Only this, and nothing more.’

Answer 9

@Love.Kat123 I'm pertty sure this is D. tumtum tree
Although through, the, and tugley have the same consonant. Alliteration is a SOUND DEVICE. When you read these words OUT LOUD, they are not the same.

t + h = the makes a different sounds than "through" and "tugley"

Tumtum and tree , on the other hand, still have the original /t/ sounds in the word.

I tried and tried to find if other sites to prove this, and I come across the answer on another site. Here:
