Why tanner rhymes the way it does
Pull tanner apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 20, additive and subtractive together 9, assonance 6,609, and consonance 1085. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Tanner pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
