发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words like stair, stare, air, and fair share the /eə(r)/ sound of the -steə(r) variant, but that final syllable is unstressed in Alastair, so they are not true rhymes. Alabaster and monster share the final /stə(r)/ sound of the -stə(r) variant and the spelling pattern '-ster' (alabaster), but both have different stress patterns and vowels, so do not use them as pronunciation models for Alastair.
