Why lane rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for lane starts at the vowel โ the long /eษช/, IPA /a/ โ and ends where the line hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 134 matches, family rhymes 45, additive and subtractive together 426, assonance 7,044, and consonance 1179. 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. Lane rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
