Why newcomer rhymes the way it does
In our engine, newcomer registers as a three-syllable word on the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/) that spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 176, assonance 3,879, and consonance 4. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Newcomer rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
