Why militant rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for militant starts at the vowel — the front-and-flat /æ/, IPA /æ/ — and ends where the line 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 89, assonance 14,140, and consonance 5. 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. Militant is a word that benefits from the second pass.
