Words that rhyme with Parting
Take parting apart phonetically and the bones are these: two-syllable, vowel on the high /ษช/, ending that lets the nasal carry the tail. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Two readings: as data โ the strict-rhyme column is bounded, no family-rhyme matches turn up, the assonance pool is the one that won't run out; as lyric โ a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Treat the assonance list as the main shelf โ the strict column is the footnote.

Why parting rhymes the way it does
Parting is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, then it ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 15 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 58, assonance 8,084, and consonance 12. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Parting is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
