Why potassium rhymes the way it does
Potassium is built around the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's three-syllable and rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 70, assonance 6,660, and consonance 16. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Potassium pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
