Why sis rhymes the way it does
Pull sis apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 34 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Sis rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
