发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only Arnie rhymes with the British pronunciation /ˈbɑːni/ shown for barney. The -ney words (money, journey) share the spelling ending but do not rhyme because their vowels differ. Barley and barn share the initial /bɑː/ sound and bar-/barn- spelling, but their endings are different. Baron is a useful lookalike: its first syllable is /ˈbær-/, not /ˈbɑːr-/.
