Why nordic rhymes the way it does
Nordic is built around the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 98, assonance 9,222, 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 guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With nordic, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
