The shape of caveat: two-syllable, vowel coloured by the bright /iห/, ending that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line.

Why caveat rhymes the way it does
Caveat sits on a tight high-vowel /iห/, transcribed /iห/ in our engine, and snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 95 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 9,100, and consonance 1799. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for caveat tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
