Why millet rhymes the way it does
The phonology of millet is a two-syllable core: the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 100, assonance 11,995, and consonance 326. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Millet pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
