Why yiddish rhymes the way it does
To understand why yiddish rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the high /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 4, assonance 7,397, and consonance 151. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Yiddish is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
