Why yarmouth rhymes the way it does
In our engine, yarmouth registers as a two-syllable word on the wide /aส/ (/aส/) that lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 51, assonance 1,067, and consonance 73. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Yarmouth is a word that benefits from the second pass.
