Words like distributor and executor rhyme closely with contributor due to the same '-utor' ending and schwa sound. However, prosecutor has a long u (as in 'cute') and stress on the first syllable, making it a lookalike. Words like actor, doctor, inventor share the '-tor' ending but have different preceding vowels, so they do not rhyme exactly.
