I believe the proper term for that is ALLITERATION.
It is defined as "a stylistic device, or literary technique, in which successive words (more strictly, stressed syllables) begin with the same consonant sound or letter."
A perfect example would be "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
So it's not just the letter M that benefits from that literary description.

m-bitterment
If you don't use m at all, it would probably be an m-bargo
If you don't care how often you use m, it could be m-ancipation
If you use all the ms and there is none left, your m supply would be m-pty
(Alliteration isn't over-use, just repeated use)
