Why hump rhymes the way it does
In our engine, hump registers as a one-syllable word on the unrounded /ส/ (/ส/) that ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 18 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 4,429, and consonance 87. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Hump pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
