Why ammunition rhymes the way it does
To understand why ammunition rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 114 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 10,413, and consonance 842. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Ammunition reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
