Why knob rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for knob starts at the vowel โ the open /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 78 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 78, assonance 4,968, and consonance 232. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With knob, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
