Why hermann rhymes the way it does
Hermann is built around the short /æ/ (/æ/); it's two-syllable and lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 6,681, and consonance 27. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Hermann works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
