Why flemish rhymes the way it does
Flemish is built around the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 29, assonance 11,051, and consonance 4. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Flemish reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
