Why regis rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for regis starts at the vowel โ the high /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 35 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 69, assonance 10,143, and consonance 423. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Regis is a word that benefits from the second pass.
