Why gwent rhymes the way it does
Gwent is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's one-syllable and lands on the nasal-into-stop combo. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 96 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 148, assonance 12,501, and consonance 265. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Gwent reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
