Pronunciation & Spelling
None of the listed words rhymes exactly with commandment /kəˈmændmənt/. Payment, statement, agreement, amendment, and American comment /ˈkɑːmənt/ share the final /mənt/ suffix, but the main stress falls on an earlier syllable. Command /kəˈmænd/ is a spelling lookalike that keeps the first syllable of commandment but omits the suffix. British comment /ˈkɒmɛnt/ is a lookalike with different stress and vowel. Amendment /əˈmɛndmənt/ is the closest in form, but its stressed vowel is /ɛ/, not /æ/.
