Why chandra rhymes the way it does
In our engine, chandra registers as a two-syllable word on a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) that doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1114, assonance 5,615, 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Chandra pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
