Why employer rhymes the way it does
The phonology of employer is a two-syllable core: the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 504, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. 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. Employer works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
