Why sighting rhymes the way it does
Sighting is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, then it ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 43 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 167, assonance 3,094, and consonance 243. 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. 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. Sighting reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
