Why million rhymes the way it does
Pull million apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 13 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 57, assonance 11,776, and consonance 6. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines.
