Why typhoon rhymes the way it does
The phonology of typhoon is a two-syllable core: the rounded /uː/ (/uː/), then it lets the line ring through a nasal.

The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines.

Typhoon pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
