发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These all rhyme with champ /tʃæmp/: their stressed vowel and following consonant are the same /æmp/. Note that champ starts with /tʃ/, so the ch is not pronounced /k/; the -amp ending still matches exactly in camp, damp, lamp, ramp, stamp, and clamp. Beware the lookalike chomp /tʃɒmp/, which does not rhyme.
