Why ginsburg rhymes the way it does
To understand why ginsburg rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the rhotic schwa, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 59 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 65, assonance 2,513, and consonance 229. 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. Ginsburg pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
