Why laurent rhymes the way it does
In our engine, laurent registers as a two-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that 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 12,502, 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Laurent works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
