Why knoll rhymes the way it does
To understand why knoll rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 69 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 432, assonance 3,724, and consonance 957. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Knoll is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
