Why lat rhymes the way it does
In our engine, lat registers as a one-syllable word on a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) that ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 58 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 6,692, and consonance 997. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With lat, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
