Why birth rhymes the way it does
Birth sits on the r-coloured schwa, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 57, assonance 1,938, and consonance 88. 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. 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. Birth is a word that benefits from the second pass.
