Why tiller rhymes the way it does
Tiller is built around the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/); it's two-syllable and trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 17 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 11, assonance 8,874, and consonance 801. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Tiller reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
