Why allied rhymes the way it does
In our engine, allied registers as a two-syllable word on a high-front /iห/ (/iห/) that ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 137 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 119, assonance 2,937, and consonance 817. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Allied is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
