Why celiac rhymes the way it does
The phonology of celiac is a two-syllable core: the front /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 69 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 114, assonance 6,518, and consonance 643. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Celiac pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
