Why incl rhymes the way it does
Incl is built around the high /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's one-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 52, assonance 12,604, and consonance 27. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. 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 incl tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
