Why coil rhymes the way it does
Coil is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the rounded /ษษช/ glide, then it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 14 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 935, and consonance 887. 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. Coil pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
