Why gazette rhymes the way it does
The phonology of gazette is a two-syllable core: the front /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 127 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 10,644, and consonance 913. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Gazette pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
