Why migrant rhymes the way it does
The phonology of migrant is a two-syllable core: the flat /æ/ (/æ/), then it lands on the nasal-into-stop combo. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 165, assonance 3,153, and consonance 3. 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 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 migrant tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
