Why gallant rhymes the way it does
Gallant is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the front-and-flat /æ/, then it closes on the nasal-stop pairing. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 62, assonance 6,666, and consonance 25. 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. Gallant is a word that benefits from the second pass.
