Why plus rhymes the way it does
Plus is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the central /ส/, then it tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 25 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 61, assonance 4,251, and consonance 469. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Plus works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
