Pronunciation & Spelling
No words rhyme exactly with 'emily' because the stressed vowel /ɛ/ differs. 'Family' shares the same stress pattern and final two syllables (/məli/), but the initial consonant is different. Other '-ly' words such as 'homely', 'timely', and 'namely' have different vowel sounds and syllable counts, so they are lookalikes that sound different.
