Why topple rhymes the way it does
The phonology of topple is a two-syllable core: the round /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 81, assonance 6,302, and consonance 55. 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. 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 topple tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
