Why judicial rhymes the way it does
Judicial is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the front /ษ/, then it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 63, assonance 9,321, and consonance 33. 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 judicial tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
