Why ratified rhymes the way it does
In our engine, ratified registers as a three-syllable word on a high-front /iห/ (/iห/) that ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 348 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 254, assonance 3,783, and consonance 1082. 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.

Ratified pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
