What do you call it when two or more consonants with different vowels are repeated?

There isn't a specific term in English grammar for repeating two or more consonants with different vowels.

Here's why:

* Consonants are usually repeated with the *same* vowel: The most common repetition is *alliteration*, which is the repetition of the *same* consonant sound at the beginning of words. For example: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."

* Vowel repetition has a term: Repeating the same vowel is known as *assonance*. For example: "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain."

Example of your request:

You might have in mind something like "sha-la-la" or "ba-da-da". This type of sound repetition is usually considered a musical element or a form of onomatopoeia rather than a specific grammatical feature.

If you can provide a specific example of what you're looking for, I might be able to give you a more specific answer.
