Why combined rhymes the way it does
In our engine, combined registers as a three-syllable word on the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) that closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 52 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 236, assonance 3,007, and consonance 429. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Combined rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
