Why fur rhymes the way it does
The phonology of fur is a one-syllable core: the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 43 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 473, assonance 1,400, 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. 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 fur, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
