Why musket rhymes the way it does
Musket sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 90, assonance 5,111, and consonance 18. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Musket is a word that benefits from the second pass.
