Why lump rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for lump starts at the vowel โ the central /ส/, IPA /ส/ โ and ends where the line ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 18 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 4,429, and consonance 87. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Lump works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
