Why chisel rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for chisel starts at the vowel โ the mid /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 17 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 70, assonance 11,516, and consonance 46. 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. Chisel pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
