Why concession rhymes the way it does
Concession is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษ/, then it trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 33 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 74, assonance 10,974, and consonance 838. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Concession works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
