Why curator rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for curator starts at the vowel โ the back /ษหr/, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 130 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 364, assonance 6,469, and consonance 1746. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Curator works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
