Why troll rhymes the way it does
Troll sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 42 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 211, assonance 4,098, and consonance 789. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Troll is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
