Pronunciation & Spelling
All words share the -ment ending. Stressed vowels vary: /uː/ (movement), /eɪ/ (statement, basement), /iː/ (treatment), /ɔɪ/ (appointment, enjoyment). Only treatment has the same stressed vowel /iː/ as 'agreement', but it includes an extra /t/ before /m/, so they do not rhyme perfectly.
