Why identity rhymes the way it does
Identity is four-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 279 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1358, assonance 2,095, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Identity reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
