Pronunciation & Spelling
No true rhyme is listed: these are spelling lookalikes. They share the visible ending -tory, but conciliatory stresses the second syllable /ˈsɪl/, while these words stress different syllables (e.g. territory and inventory the first, regulatory /ˈleɪ/, compensatory /ˈpen/, satisfactory /ˈfæk/). The final unstressed -tory is often /təri/, so the endings sound similar, but the stress patterns make them clearly different from conciliatory.
