Why vial rhymes the way it does
In our engine, vial registers as a one-syllable word on the front /ษ/ (/ษ/) that trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 96, assonance 3,011, and consonance 927. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Vial rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
