Why membrane rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for membrane starts at the vowel โ the rising /eษช/, IPA /a/ โ and ends where the line hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 46, assonance 11,932, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Membrane is a word that benefits from the second pass.
