Why fellow rhymes the way it does
Pull fellow apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the open /oส/ (/oส/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close softens through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 12 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 14, assonance 9,546, and consonance 1025. 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. 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. Fellow works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
