Why alpine rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for alpine starts at the vowel โ a long-i vowel that opens the mouth, IPA /i/ โ and ends where the line lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 48, assonance 6,682, and consonance 2. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for alpine tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
