Why yonder rhymes the way it does
Yonder sits on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 113, assonance 7,418, and consonance 467. 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. 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. Yonder is a word that benefits from the second pass.
