Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all share the stressed vowel /æ/ and the ending /ɪfaɪ/, so they are perfect rhymes with 'classify'. Note that many other '-ify' verbs have different stressed vowels, e.g., 'specify' (/spɛs-/), 'identify' (/aɪ'dɛntɪ-/), 'justify' (/dʒʌst-/), and thus do not rhyme with 'classify'.
