Why eskimo rhymes the way it does
In our engine, eskimo registers as a three-syllable word on the open /ษ/ (/ษ/) that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 54 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1464, assonance 3,525, 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.

Eskimo pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
