Duality belongs to the three-syllable group; its vowel is the short /ɪ/, and it ends on an open vowel. The lyric tradition treats it as a thinking-word.

Why duality rhymes the way it does
Pull duality apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 46 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 59, assonance 6,581, and consonance 317. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Duality pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
