Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes with bulimia (/bjuˈlɪmiə/). The -emia words (anemia, leukemia, uremia, toxemia) rhyme with each other on /iːmiə/, but bulimia has a short /ɪ/ in its stressed syllable /ˈlɪmiə/, so it only looks similar in spelling. Bully shares the initial bul but is pronounced /ˈbʊli/, with a different vowel and stress.
