Words that rhyme with Dui
Dui is a one-syllable word built around the mid /ษ/, and it ends on an unbuttoned vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. What the engine returns: you won't run short of perfect rhymes, family rhymes are simply absent, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. The strict list is rich enough to anchor the whole song.

Why dui rhymes the way it does
Pull dui apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 89 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 830, assonance 2,115, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Dui works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
