Why weep rhymes the way it does
Pull weep apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with a high-front /iห/ (/iห/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 25 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 160, assonance 3,528, and consonance 339. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Weep pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
