Pronunciation & Spelling
Words such as 'mentally', 'incidentally', 'coincidentally', and 'fundamentally' share the same stressed vowel /ɛ/ and ending /ntəli/, making them perfect rhymes. However, lookalikes like 'fatally' (/ˈfeɪtəli/) have a different vowel sound, and 'naturally' (/ˈnætʃərəli/) has a different consonant cluster before the final -ly, so they do not rhyme.
