Why endure rhymes the way it does

Endure is built around the /ษœหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษœหr/); it's two-syllable and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 35 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 38, assonance 803, and consonance 650. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Endure is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
