Why median rhymes the way it does
Median is built around the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 2, additive and subtractive together 305, assonance 6,562, and consonance 53. 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. Median works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
