Why jayne rhymes the way it does
Jayne is built around the rising /eɪ/ (/eɪ/); it's one-syllable and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 107 matches, family rhymes 36, additive and subtractive together 287, assonance 5,580, and consonance 795. 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. Jayne rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
