Why spaniard rhymes the way it does
Pull spaniard apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a liquid-into-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 44 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 112, assonance 7,712, and consonance 138. 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. Spaniard is a word that benefits from the second pass.
