FAMILY RHYME

(consonant substitution near rhyme)

PreviousELIDED RHYMENextFEMININE PARARHYME

Last updated 5 years ago

A rhyme that is based on the principle that consonants can be grouped into clusters that exhibit a strong enough resemblance in sound to belong to the same family. Family rhymes are in essence that freely interchange the consonants that belong to the same family namely plosives (b/d/g/p/t/k), fricatives (v/z/zh/j/f/th/s/sh/ch) and nasals (m/n/ng).

lover > suffer / rougher / buzzer / buffer

touch > such / bluff / buss / begrudge

test > left / stretched / bequest / fledged

This is very popular in modern music since it can create a stronger agreement in sound than the last syllable rhyme, yet still allows fresh alternatives to otherwise overused perfect rhymes.

For dictionary entries with multiple words Rhyme Genie always matches the final word of the phrase. To find only single words simply deselect the phrases, proper nouns and charted songs options.
