Why lacquer rhymes the way it does
Lacquer is built around the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 29 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 18, assonance 6,996, and consonance 985. 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 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 lacquer, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
