Why fraternity rhymes the way it does
In our engine, fraternity registers as a four-syllable word on the high /ษช/ (/ษช/) that ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 108, assonance 4,742, and consonance 340. 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. 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. Fraternity is a word that benefits from the second pass.
