Why abdul rhymes the way it does
The phonology of abdul is a two-syllable core: the short /ส/ (/ส/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 12 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 64, assonance 3,796, and consonance 906. 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. 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 abdul, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
