Why emperor rhymes the way it does
In our engine, emperor registers as a three-syllable word on the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/) that trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 42, assonance 13,553, and consonance 53. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Emperor works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
