Why welder rhymes the way it does
Welder sits on the rhotic schwa, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 134, assonance 11,774, and consonance 284. 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 welder, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
