Why ignatius rhymes the way it does
Ignatius sits on the centred /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 29 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 63, assonance 3,768, and consonance 626. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Ignatius pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
