Why guam rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for guam starts at the vowel โ the centred /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 68 matches, family rhymes 135, additive and subtractive together 91, assonance 8,556, and consonance 589. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Guam rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
