Why peshawar rhymes the way it does
Peshawar is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the broad /ษหr/, then it spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 77 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 437, assonance 6,210, and consonance 703. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Peshawar is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
