Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine sound matches share the final /eɪz/: phrase /freɪz/ (the exact final component), phase /feɪz/, praise /preɪz/, raise /reɪz/. Warning: phrase and phase are lookalikes but not homophones—phrase adds /r/ after /f/. Also case spells -ase but is pronounced /keɪs/ with /s/, not /eɪz/. Catch starts with the same spelling/sound component /kætʃ/ but does not rhyme with the ending.
