Why lithium rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for lithium starts at the vowel โ the centred /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 33, assonance 10,589, and consonance 5. 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. 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. Lithium works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
