Why dekker rhymes the way it does
In our engine, dekker registers as a two-syllable word on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/) that spills out through a liquid consonant.

That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century.

With dekker, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
