Why undermine rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for undermine starts at the vowel โ the bright /aษช/, IPA /i/ โ and ends where the line hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 39, assonance 4,963, and consonance 6. 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. Undermine pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
