Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes exactly with 'Aeneas' (/ˈæniəs/). 'genius' and 'spontaneous' match the final /niəs/ of 'Aeneas' but have a different stressed vowel, so they are ending matches, not rhymes. 'anise' (/ˈænɪs/) is a spelling lookalike with a different final sound; 'Caesar', 'Aesop', and 'Aegean' show that 'ae' is often /iː/ or /ɪ/, unlike the /æ/ in 'Aeneas'.
