Why fragrant rhymes the way it does
In our engine, fragrant registers as a two-syllable word on the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/) that ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 244, assonance 6,917, and consonance 1. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With fragrant, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
