Why cartier rhymes the way it does
The phonology of cartier is a two-syllable core: the r-coloured schwa (/ษหr/), then it spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 13 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 161, assonance 3,330, and consonance 675. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Cartier pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
