发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the spelling ending '-ily' (often '-sily') and the final /zɪli/ sound, but none is a true rhyme with clumsily /ˈklʌmzɪli/ because their stressed vowels differ (/iː/, /ɔɪ/, /eɪ/, /aʊ/, /ɪ/, /ɪ/). flimsily is the closest in sound, matching the /mzɪli/ ending, but its stressed vowel is /ɪ/ rather than /ʌ/. Do not judge rhyme from spelling alone.
