Why provision rhymes the way it does
Provision sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 116 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 52, assonance 10,503, and consonance 49. 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. Provision reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
