Why magistrate rhymes the way it does
The phonology of magistrate is a three-syllable core: a long-a that lifts the line (/a/), then it ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 628 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 557, assonance 6,155, and consonance 1364. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Magistrate pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
