发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No true rhyme: cervix /ˈsɜːvɪks/ (or /ˈsəːvɪks/) has stress on the first syllable, and none of the listed words matches its full /vɪks/ ending. Appendix, matrix, prefix and suffix share the unstressed /ɪks/ ending but differ in the stressed vowel. Service /ˈsɜːvɪs/ is a close soundalike—only the final /s/ vs /ks/ differs. Cervical (often /ˈsɜːvɪkəl/; also /sərˈvaɪkəl/) shares the 'cervi-' spelling but continues with /kəl/.
