Words that rhyme with Omission
Omission: three-syllable, an idea-word looking for a body, vowel sitting on the mid /ษ/, ending that lets the nasal carry the tail. Songwriters anchor it with an image to keep the line from floating. Engine returns: perfect rhymes turn up in abundance, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Lyric returns: a thinking-word. Start strict, scan family, and only reach for assonance when the line wants slant.

Why omission rhymes the way it does
Pull omission apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 111 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 10,413, and consonance 842. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Omission pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
