Why indeed rhymes the way it does
Indeed sits on a high-front /iห/, transcribed /iห/ in our engine, and snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 118 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 172, assonance 4,498, and consonance 708. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for indeed tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
