Why labrador rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for labrador starts at the vowel โ the rounded /ษหr/, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 104 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 559, assonance 3,751, and consonance 806. 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. 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. Labrador reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
