Why orr rhymes the way it does
To understand why orr rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the back /ษหr/, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which 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 107, assonance 4,911, and consonance 1. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Orr pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
