Why gar rhymes the way it does
In our engine, gar registers as a one-syllable word on the broad /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) that flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 39 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 296, assonance 6,948, and consonance 500. 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: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Gar reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
