Why wee rhymes the way it does
Wee is built around a high-front /iห/ (/iห/); it's one-syllable and opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 140 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1041, assonance 2,306, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Wee reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
