Why anton rhymes the way it does
Anton sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 89 matches, family rhymes 30, additive and subtractive together 155, assonance 5,663, and consonance 1467. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. 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. Anton rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
