Why armament rhymes the way it does
The phonology of armament is a three-syllable core: the front /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it closes on the nasal-stop pairing. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 93, assonance 8,066, and consonance 0. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Armament is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
