Why dunne rhymes the way it does
Dunne is built around a back-mid /ส/ (/ส/); it's one-syllable and trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 39, assonance 4,291, and consonance 27. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for dunne tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
