Words that rhyme with Mana
Mana works as a common-tongue word on the lyric side and two-syllable a low-front /æ/ on the sound side — it ends on an open vowel at the close. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: strict matches show up in low numbers, the family column adds a handful of singable slants, the assonance well is bottomless. Take the lyric role separately and it's a word everyone uses. When the strict column thins, the family column is the most singable next step.

Why mana rhymes the way it does
Pull mana apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 14, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 6,510, and consonance 1049. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Mana works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
