Why bull rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for bull starts at the vowel โ the unrounded /ส/, IPA /ส/ โ and ends where the line spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 12, assonance 1,644, and consonance 1152. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for bull tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
