Why dune rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for dune starts at the vowel โ a back /uห/, IPA /uหn/ โ and ends where the line lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 54 matches, family rhymes 57, additive and subtractive together 233, assonance 3,182, and consonance 1335. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Dune is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
