Why emitting rhymes the way it does
To understand why emitting rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the short /ɪ/, written /ɪ/ — and the ending, which hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 27 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 73, assonance 12,700, and consonance 224. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Emitting is a word that benefits from the second pass.
