Why opec rhymes the way it does
Opec sits on the front /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 53 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 170, assonance 9,714, and consonance 761. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Opec rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
