Why sovereign rhymes the way it does
Sovereign is built around the front /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's three-syllable and rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 90, assonance 7,777, and consonance 3. 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. 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. Sovereign rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
