Why coulter rhymes the way it does
Coulter is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, then it spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 179, assonance 6,684, and consonance 329. 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. Coulter pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
