Why pantheon rhymes the way it does
The phonology of pantheon is a two-syllable core: the short /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 88 matches, family rhymes 30, additive and subtractive together 155, assonance 5,663, and consonance 1467. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. 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. Pantheon rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
