Why manned rhymes the way it does
Manned sits on the centred /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 118 matches, family rhymes 18, additive and subtractive together 188, assonance 10,420, and consonance 433. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for manned tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
