Why lynch rhymes the way it does
Pull lynch apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on an affricate. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 72, assonance 10,538, and consonance 36. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Lynch is a word that benefits from the second pass.
