These words share the spelling suffix -ably. In amiably, capably, reasonably, comfortably, probably, and notably, the suffix is unstressed and pronounced /əbli/ (the same as in amiably), but the stressed vowels are different, so they do not rhyme as whole words. Warning: the standalone word ably is pronounced /ˈeɪbli/, so it is a spelling lookalike but does not have the /əbli/ ending sound.
