Why ahmad rhymes the way it does
Pull ahmad apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the flat /æ/ (/æ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 54 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 13, assonance 6,646, and consonance 888. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Ahmad is a word that benefits from the second pass.
