Why lodging rhymes the way it does
Lodging sits on the tight /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 46, assonance 6,668, and consonance 44. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Lodging is a word that benefits from the second pass.
