Why indira rhymes the way it does
Indira is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the front-and-flat /æ/, then it ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1114, assonance 5,615, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Indira rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
