Why whitaker rhymes the way it does
Whitaker sits on the /ษหr/ vowel, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 20 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 13, assonance 6,638, and consonance 671. 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: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Whitaker reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
