Why embark rhymes the way it does
To understand why embark rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the /ษหr/ vowel, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which ends with a liquid-stop kick. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 38 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 254, assonance 6,670, and consonance 45. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With embark, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
