Words that rhyme with Mortuary

Look up rhymes for mortuary and you'll get a particular story: the strict column is unhelpful here, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own.

Why mortuary rhymes the way it does
To understand why mortuary rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the clipped /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 110, assonance 5,045, 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. 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. Mortuary reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
