Why embed rhymes the way it does
Embed sits on the front /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 127 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 24, assonance 10,687, and consonance 825. 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. Embed rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
