Why beggar rhymes the way it does
The phonology of beggar is a two-syllable core: the open /ษหr/ (/ษหr/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 9, assonance 9,307, and consonance 196. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. 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. Beggar is a word that benefits from the second pass.
