Why pembroke rhymes the way it does
In our engine, pembroke registers as a two-syllable word on the open /oส/ (/o/) that lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 43 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 304, assonance 3,176, and consonance 968. 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. Pembroke is a word that benefits from the second pass.
