Why elias rhymes the way it does
Elias sits on the mid /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 60 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 104, assonance 8,505, and consonance 535. 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. 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. Elias rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
