Why tripod rhymes the way it does
To understand why tripod rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 182, assonance 3,068, and consonance 20. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Tripod pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
