There are more 2000 words in the -ation set.

The writer of the blog post decided to try build equivalence classes of rhymes in the English language, the largest of which was the -ation class, with 1978 members. Of database of English words he is working over is not complete, so we can expect a fair number of -ation words are missing.

Wow, I managed to pick the largest rhyming pattern, didn't I... It's still a fun exercise in vocabulary, though.

Alienation! Subjugation! Corrugation! Conjugation! Flirtation! Cremation! Correlation!

I find it interesting that you don't feature "castration" in the "implicitly negative" list.

Good point. Consider it added. (I'm sure many have slipped through where they should be...)
