What Rhymes With Chamber

2017-01-13 08:18:12 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

I can't think of anything but I found the following quote on the net...


"Recently someone on the American Dialect Society email list also included “chamber” as a word for which there is no rhyme in English.

Most of those “nothing rhymes with” chestnuts are easily answered because the queries are poorly phrased. Maybe taking advantage of poor phrasing seems like a loophole that defeats the spirit of the questions, but I think that when puzzles or challenges are presented—when someone is pitting their factoid knowledge against yours—then loopholes are just begging to be exploited. For example:

Rhyming with “chamber” is easily done because the question is rarely posed in such as a way as to forbid words that include “chamber” in their makeup. Sure, that’s a rule for poetry and lyrics, but as far as I’m concerned, if you simply claim “there’s NOTHING that rhymes with chamber,” then these answers are perfectly acceptable—because they do rhyme in a most exact way. There are many more hyphenated or compound forms rhyme, too.

If you meant to exclude rhymes that include exact forms of the word to be rhymed, then you should say so.

antechamber
antichamber (variant of above)
bedchamber
inchamber
outchamber"

First, a few notes:
* I'll just assume you do NOT just want another word ending with "chamber"

* "timbre" does NOT rhyme -- I know the online version of the AHD is a bit hard to clearly read the symbols on, but check the "hard copy" and it's clear it's a "flat" /a/ sound (so it sounds like "amber")

* for the long list of words ending with -er --most of these will NOT work; the rhyme must include the ACCENTED syllable (the "am" part)
________________________

Anyway, there are NO "perfect" rhymes for "chamber"

But there are a number of good NEAR rhymes --of the best sort, in which the vowels all match ("full assonance") the last consonant matches ("final consonance"), and the remaining consonant(s) are somewhere close. (In the case of the -mb- consonant cluster, /n/ is extremely close to /m/, so that should work well; closest sounds to /b/ are /p/, /v/, /f/, /d/ and /t/ . And words matching or almost matching one part of the cluster will often work.)

Try this, roughly in order from 'nearest' to 'further away'"

remainder, attainder
changer, danger, granger, manger, ranger, stranger**
fainter, painter

** "j"/"soft-g" is actually a combination of the /d/ sound with /zh/

aimer, blamer, disclaimer, flamer, framer, gamer, lamer, namer, tamer
(no-)brainer, complainer, container, drainer, gainer, plainer, profaner, retainer, saner, stainer, sustainer, trainer

labor, neighbor, saber, tabor
caper, draper. gaper, japer, landscaper, paper, raper, rapier, sapor, scraper, shaper, taper, tapir, vapor
braver, claver, engraver, favor, flavor, graver, laver, paver, quaver, raver, saver, savor, shaver, slaver, waiver, waver
behavior, savior

fader, grader, nadir, raider, trader, wader
baiter, cater, crater, dater, grater, greater, hater, later, rater, satyr, slater, stater, tater, traitor, waiter
chafer, safer, strafer, wafer

(If none of these work, and you want to look at more distant rhymes, try entering "chamber" in the search box at:

The way that many people say 'timbre' (tām'bər), it is a pretty close rhyme to 'chamber'.

It's also a good poetic word :)

Meaning: The combination of qualities of a sound that distinguishes it from other sounds of the same pitch and volume.
