Why location rhymes the way it does
Location is built around the front /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's three-syllable and lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 662 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 556, assonance 4,766, and consonance 208. 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 location, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
