Words that rhyme with Transmission
For lyric work, transmission behaves as a word that lives in the head before the senses. Sound-wise: three-syllable, vowel on the centred /ษ/, finally it trails through a nasal hum. Pair it with something tactile and the line lifts. The vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and there's no shortage of perfect matches. Search rhymes for transmission long enough and you notice the pattern: the pull is toward slant work. The strict list gives you a chorus' worth of options before you ever need a slant.

Why transmission rhymes the way it does
Transmission is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the mid /ษ/, then it lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 120 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 10,413, and consonance 842. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Transmission pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
