Why triangular rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for triangular starts at the vowel โ the broad /ษหr/, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 19, assonance 6,708, and consonance 1. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Triangular pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
