Why priory rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for priory starts at the vowel โ the high /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 2,943, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Priory reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
