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 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 340, assonance 5,540, and consonance 248. 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. 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.
