Why cob rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for cob starts at the vowel โ the short /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 42 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 59, assonance 5,623, and consonance 228. 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. Cob pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
