Why quench rhymes the way it does
The phonology of quench is a one-syllable core: the short /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it lands on an affricate. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 55, assonance 10,984, and consonance 46. 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. Quench reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
