Words that rhyme with Lakh
As a one-syllable word, lakh sits on a low-front /æ/ and tails off through an approximant. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Two readings: as data — nothing matches this word strictly, the family column is blank, the assonance pool runs into the thousands; as lyric — a word the lyric earns weight from by context. The contemporary ear forgives — and prefers — the assonance matches here.

Why lakh rhymes the way it does
Lakh is built around the short /æ/ (/æ/); it's one-syllable and tails off through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 6,683, and consonance 1. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Lakh pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
