Why parity rhymes the way it does
To understand why parity rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the tight /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 21 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 169, assonance 11,134, and consonance 168. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for parity tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
