Why platter rhymes the way it does

To understand why platter rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ€” the r-coloured schwa, written /ษœหr/ โ€” and the ending, which flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 27 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 22, assonance 6,629, and consonance 1056. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Platter reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
