Why plow rhymes the way it does
Plow sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and doesn't really close at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 36 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 276, assonance 903, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for plow tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
