Why sonata rhymes the way it does
In our engine, sonata registers as a three-syllable word on the flat /æ/ (/æ/) that ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 18 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 74, assonance 6,702, and consonance 1027. 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. 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. Sonata is a word that benefits from the second pass.
