Why art rhymes the way it does
The phonology of art is a one-syllable core: the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/), then it lands on a liquid-into-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 43 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Art works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
