Why regiment rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for regiment starts at the vowel โ the mid /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line lands on a nasal-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 139, assonance 12,717, and consonance 8. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn.
