Why begging rhymes the way it does
Begging sits on the clipped /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 19, assonance 11,849, and consonance 43. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Begging pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
