Words that rhyme with Emile
Take emile apart phonetically and the bones are these: three-syllable, vowel on the full-throated /aษช/, ending that trails through a flowing liquid. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Two readings: as data โ only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side; as lyric โ a household-word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why emile rhymes the way it does
Emile is built around a long-i vowel that opens the mouth (/i/); it's three-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 30 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 127, assonance 2,980, and consonance 906. 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 practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for emile tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
