Grammar Note
singular
Pronunciation & Spelling
In Mississippi /ˌmɪsɪˈsɪpi/, the stressed part is /sɪp/, followed by /i/, so the rhyming pattern is /ɪpi/ — sippy, zippy, hippy, tippy and lippy all match it. Watch out for lookalikes: the opening "miss" is exactly the word miss /mɪs/ and the middle "sip" is exactly sip /sɪp/, but neither one shares the /ɪpi/ ending, so they do not rhyme with Mississippi.
