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 80 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 234, assonance 6,885, and consonance 92. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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.
