Why invent rhymes the way it does
Invent is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and closes on the nasal-stop pairing. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 94 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 148, assonance 12,501, and consonance 265. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. 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. Invent rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
