Why durability rhymes the way it does
Pull durability apart phonetically and you get a five-syllable word with the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 103, assonance 11,992, and consonance 264. 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 durability, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
