Why borg rhymes the way it does
Pull borg apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the back /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 113, assonance 6,333, and consonance 3. 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 practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for borg tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
