Nothing in AltF Lexicon rhymes with thieving. Its pronunciation ends in the phonemes THIYVIHNG, and no other entry in the corpus shares that ending. A word with a rhyme key of its own and no company is genuinely unrhymable in ordinary English — orange is the famous case, and this is another.
Two words rhyme when their pronunciations agree on every phoneme from the last stressed vowel to the end of the word. Nothing about spelling is consulted — that is why eight rhymes with freight and straight, and why cough rhymes with none of though, through or bough. For thieving the matched ending is THIYVIHNG. The key is the pronunciation from the last stressed vowel onward, written in the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary's phoneme alphabet. Every entry sharing it rhymes.
