Why dol rhymes the way it does
Dol sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 80, assonance 6,054, and consonance 896. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Dol rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
