Why tut rhymes the way it does
In our engine, tut registers as a one-syllable word on the unrounded /ส/ (/ส/) that lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 53 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 36, assonance 3,742, and consonance 1910. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Tut is a word that benefits from the second pass.
