Why region rhymes the way it does
Region is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 522, assonance 8,861, and consonance 19. 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 guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With region, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
