Why cumin rhymes the way it does
To understand why cumin rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 217, assonance 3,505, and consonance 81. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With cumin, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
