Why quad rhymes the way it does
In our engine, quad registers as a one-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 63 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 6,731, and consonance 863. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Quad is a word that benefits from the second pass.
