Why sicilian rhymes the way it does
In our engine, sicilian registers as a three-syllable word on the front /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 104 matches, family rhymes 99, additive and subtractive together 253, assonance 8,379, and consonance 1412. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. 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. Sicilian is a word that benefits from the second pass.
