Words that rhyme with Semitism
There's a particular shape to semitism: three-syllable, built on the short /ɪ/, ending that lets the line ring through a nasal. It's a concept-word that wants a concrete rhyme to ground it. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: nothing matches this word strictly, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, the assonance well is bottomless. Take the lyric role separately and it's a concept word. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why semitism rhymes the way it does
Semitism sits on the clipped /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 12,238, and consonance 16. 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: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Semitism reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
