Why dashing rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for dashing starts at the vowel — the tight /ɪ/, IPA /ɪ/ — and ends where the line lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 59, assonance 6,655, and consonance 26. 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: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Dashing reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
