Why outflow rhymes the way it does
Pull outflow apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the open /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close doesn't really close at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 4,695, and consonance 34. 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. Outflow is a word that benefits from the second pass.
