Words that rhyme with Construction

It's a concept-word that wants a concrete rhyme to ground it. The word arrives in song as an idea-word. When the search is rhymes for construction, the answer takes a specific form: there are a few perfect rhymes, no more, family rhymes come up empty, and the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use.

Why construction rhymes the way it does
Construction sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 14 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 4,646, and consonance 92. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Construction is a word that benefits from the second pass.
