Why reg rhymes the way it does
Pull reg apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 52 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 17, assonance 9,870, and consonance 174. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Reg pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
