Why starr rhymes the way it does
To understand why starr rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the open /ษหr/, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 38 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 296, assonance 6,948, and consonance 500. 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 practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for starr tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
