Why apart rhymes the way it does
The phonology of apart is a two-syllable core: the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/), then it closes on a liquid feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 41 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 135, assonance 7,685, and consonance 101. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Apart reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
