Why lombard rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for lombard starts at the vowel โ the broad /ษหr/, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line lands on a liquid-into-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 84 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 193, assonance 6,932, and consonance 134. 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. Lombard reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
