Why mathews rhymes the way it does
Mathews sits on the mid /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 61, assonance 10,573, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Mathews is a word that benefits from the second pass.
