Why lever rhymes the way it does
Lever is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the rhotic schwa, then it spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 21 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 12, assonance 8,244, and consonance 267. 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. 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. Lever is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
