Why ignition rhymes the way it does
Pull ignition apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 117 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 10,413, and consonance 842. 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. 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. Ignition rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
