Why eject rhymes the way it does
To understand why eject rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the front /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 51 matches, family rhymes 3, additive and subtractive together 145, assonance 11,603, and consonance 243. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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 eject tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
