Why amendment rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for amendment starts at the vowel โ the front /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 139, assonance 12,659, and consonance 4. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Amendment rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
