Why nehru rhymes the way it does
In our engine, nehru registers as a two-syllable word on the short /ส/ (/ส/) that ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 991, assonance 2,073, 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Nehru reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
