Why sufi rhymes the way it does
Sufi is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1288, assonance 5,602, and consonance 0. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for sufi tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
