Words that rhyme with Jaguar
As a two-syllable word, jaguar sits on the short /ษ/ and flows into the next line via a liquid. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. It serves as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word in most lyrics.

Why jaguar rhymes the way it does
Jaguar sits on the mid /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 76 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 437, assonance 6,210, and consonance 703. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Jaguar is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
