Why emergent rhymes the way it does
Emergent sits on the mid /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 88, assonance 4,809, and consonance 9. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Emergent pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
