Isn't alliteration when the same letter is used? So "cop cow canine" is alliterative because of the letter "C", while "Cop, Cow, Dog" just has repetitive beats/syllables.

You're right. Alliteration is repeating consonants. Repeating vowels is called assonance.

Assonance, I had never heard of this, so cool that there's a word for it! thank you for teaching me 😊
