Why edo rhymes the way it does
In our engine, edo registers as a two-syllable word on the open /ษ/ (/ษ/) that doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 38 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 964, assonance 4,478, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Edo rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
