Why butte rhymes the way it does
The phonology of butte is a one-syllable core: the unrounded /ส/ (/ส/), then it ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 109 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 167, assonance 3,477, and consonance 969. 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.

Butte is a word that benefits from the second pass.
