Tribesman /ˈtraɪbzmən/ has no exact rhyming word here. 'Tribes' /traɪbz/ and 'bribes' /braɪbz/ share the stressed /-aɪbz/ part of the first syllable but do not include the final /mən/. 'Tradesman', 'spokesman', 'statesman', and 'craftsman' end in the same spelling -sman, but their stressed vowels (/eɪ/, /oʊ/, /eɪ/, /æ/) differ from /aɪ/, so they are lookalikes rather than rhymes.
