Words that rhyme with Permitted
Singers reaching for permitted find a low-register anchor on the surface and a three-syllable core on the centred /ษ/ underneath โ one that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Engine returns: there are a few perfect rhymes, no more, the family column is blank, the assonance well is bottomless. Lyric returns: an unguarded everyday word. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why permitted rhymes the way it does
Pull permitted apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 67, assonance 10,967, and consonance 248. 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. 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. Permitted rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
