Words that rhyme with Antennae
Antennae: three-syllable, a common-tongue word, vowel sitting on the centred /ษ/, ending that ends on an open vowel. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Pool data: the perfect column gives you just enough to start, family rhymes round out the strict column, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a workaday word. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why antennae rhymes the way it does
Antennae is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the front /ษ/, then it leaves the vowel hanging open.

The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't.
