Pronunciation & Spelling
The listed words share the ending spelling '-ham'. In 'abraham', the final syllable is pronounced /hæm/ or /həm/ (unstressed). In place names like 'Birmingham', it is pronounced /əm/. 'Ham' and 'sham' have stressed /hæm/, so they do not rhyme perfectly with 'abraham' due to stress difference. Use these to compare the spelling pattern, but be aware of pronunciation variations.
