Words that rhyme with Cornish
For lyric work, cornish behaves as a mood-painting word. Sound-wise: two-syllable, vowel on the high /ษช/, finally it trails off into a fricative. It's tonal more than narrative. Pool data: strict matches show up in low numbers, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a word that sets the weather. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why cornish rhymes the way it does
In our engine, cornish registers as a two-syllable word on the short /ษช/ (/ษช/) that trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 4, assonance 7,397, and consonance 151. 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. Cornish is a word that benefits from the second pass.
