Why elated rhymes the way it does
In our engine, elated registers as a three-syllable word on the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 64 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 907, assonance 6,155, and consonance 569. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Elated pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
