Why saab rhymes the way it does
Saab is built around the front /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's one-syllable and shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 48 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 22, assonance 6,645, and consonance 235. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Saab pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
