Why clog rhymes the way it does
Pull clog apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the round /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 63 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 5,784, and consonance 203. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Clog is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
