Why mill rhymes the way it does
Mill is built around the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's one-syllable and trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 49 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 100, assonance 8,785, and consonance 767. 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. 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 mill, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
