Why macleod rhymes the way it does
Macleod sits on the front /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 64 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 6,731, and consonance 863. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Macleod pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
