Why covenant rhymes the way it does
Covenant sits on the short /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and lands on a nasal-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 46, assonance 5,059, and consonance 1. 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. 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. Covenant works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
