In the dialect I speak (roughly North Central American), syringe has the stress on the second syllable, which makes the rhyme with orange (ˈôrənj, ˈärənj) a bit awkward. Looking it up, I was surprised that both stress on the first syllable and on the second were listed. səˈrinj, ˈsirinj
It piqued my curiosity. May I ask where you've heard the latter? |

Also, you characterize the 2nd vowel in "orange" as a schwa, but to many people it's /i/:
