Why mani rhymes the way it does
The phonology of mani is a two-syllable core: the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 11, additive and subtractive together 40, assonance 6,522, and consonance 1048. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Mani rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
