Why underwent rhymes the way it does
To understand why underwent rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the front /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which lands on the nasal-into-stop combo. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 93 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 148, assonance 12,502, and consonance 265. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With underwent, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
