发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the written ending -ous, pronounced /əs/, but none fully rhymes with amorphous because their stressed vowels differ. Amorphous stresses the second syllable: /əˈmɒːfəs/. Words like famous and nervous stress the first syllable, and porous has an extra /r/ before the suffix. The -ous ending is a useful spelling clue, but do not rely on spelling alone for pronunciation.
