Pronunciation & Spelling
The first syllable of 'airstrip' sounds like 'air' in airport, airline, and hair (/ɛə/), sharing the initial sound and often the spelling 'air'. The final '-strip' sounds like the separate words strip and trip (/strɪp/, /trɪp/), but because airstrip is stressed on 'air', they do not rhyme with it. Beware of stripe: the added 'e' changes the vowel to /aɪ/, so it sounds different.
