As I looked for the origins of 'dilemma',
I was diverted by 'dipchick. Same as dabchick.'
Flipping to that:
it's the Little Grebe,
which rhymes with Beeb,
dweeb, glebe,
Antibes and Delibes.
The third of those
I hadn't heard:
it's the soil, a field, a clod
and the land attached to a parish church.
A glebe-house is a manse -
the house of a clod.
Back to 'dilemma':
it rhymes with tremor, condemn her,
lemma and stemma.
Lemma is interesting but I'll leave it to you.
A stemma is a garland, a scroll, a pedigree,
an ocellus and a family tree.
The plural of ocellus is ocelli;
stemma's is stemmata, not stemmi.
