发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No exact rhymes. 'Needle' (/ˈniː.dəl/) is a near rhyme but stress differs. 'Catholic' shares the initial 'cath' spelling but has a different ending. 'Pedal', 'medal', and 'cradle' are spelling lookalikes ending in '-dal' or '-dle' but all sound different from the /drəl/ ending of 'cathedral'.
