Pronunciation & Spelling
The first four words share the spelling ending -atively and look similar, but they do not rhyme with authoritatively because their stressed vowels differ: relatively has /ɛ/, positively has /ɒ/ followed by /z/, alternatively has /ɜː/, tentatively has /ɛ/. Sorry and tomorrow share the stressed /ɒr/ sound of the -thor- part in authoritatively, but they do not rhyme as whole words because their endings differ.
