Words that rhyme with Motor
The phonetic facts first: motor is two-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the /ษหr/ vowel, and the line flows into the next line via a liquid. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Two readings: as data โ the perfect-rhyme list is short, family rhymes come up empty, the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use; as lyric โ a quotidian anchor. The interior life of any lyric on this word is going to be the assonance list.

Why motor rhymes the way it does
In our engine, motor registers as a two-syllable word on the back /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) that flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 105, assonance 5,879, and consonance 899. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With motor, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
