Why clot rhymes the way it does
Clot sits on the round /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and 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 71, assonance 6,690, and consonance 997. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Clot pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
