Why baez rhymes the way it does
The phonology of baez is a one-syllable core: the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 78 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 5, assonance 11,805, and consonance 1399. 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. 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. Baez is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
