Why warrant rhymes the way it does
To understand why warrant rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the short /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which lands on a nasal-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 131, assonance 10,025, and consonance 29. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Warrant is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
