Why newark rhymes the way it does
Newark sits on the open /ษหr/, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and lands on a liquid-into-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 152, assonance 7,365, 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. 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. Newark is a word that benefits from the second pass.
