Why kayaking rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for kayaking starts at the vowel โ the tight /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 108, assonance 3,093, and consonance 154. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Kayaking is a word that benefits from the second pass.
