Words that rhyme with Hawaiian

There's a particular shape to hawaiian: two-syllable, built on the short /ษ›/, ending that lets the line ring through a nasal. It's a word everyone uses โ€” which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Pool data: the perfect pool is workable but compact, the family-rhyme list hands over a few solid slants, and the assonance count climbs into the thousands. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a household-word. Slide from the strict column into the family column when the chorus needs a refresh.
