Why primo rhymes the way it does
To understand why primo rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 255 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1225, assonance 1,936, and consonance 0. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Primo reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
