Why astor rhymes the way it does
Astor is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the back /ษหr/, then it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 73 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 367, assonance 4,504, and consonance 533. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Astor is a word that benefits from the second pass.
