Why inject rhymes the way it does
Pull inject apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 66 matches, family rhymes 3, additive and subtractive together 197, assonance 13,673, and consonance 175. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Inject is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
