Why prussian rhymes the way it does
In our engine, prussian registers as a two-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 57, assonance 4,353, and consonance 969. 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. Prussian reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
