Words that rhyme with Nether
As a two-syllable word, nether sits on the /ษหr/ vowel and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get the strict-rhyme column is bounded, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. Sketch the lyric role and you get a common-tongue word. Modern songwriting on this word is an assonance-first practice.

Why nether rhymes the way it does
In our engine, nether registers as a two-syllable word on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/) that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 13, assonance 7,710, and consonance 42. 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. Nether works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
