Why tamara rhymes the way it does
Tamara is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on a low-front /æ/, then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 46, assonance 7,198, and consonance 531. 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 guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With tamara, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
